Eight campsites sit within a gated loop under tall pines, with only one water spigot serving the entire campground between sites 6 and 7. The US Forest Service manages this small recreation area around a fully stocked fishing lake, where campers can launch canoes and kayaks while local anglers come and go throughout the day. Two short trails lead to historical ruins from the early 1900s, including remnants of an old hotel, school, and sawmill that once operated here.
Sites inside the loop provide easier access to the playground and flush toilets, though a vault toilet also serves the campground. A separate shower house with two functioning showers sits across from the lake. At $5 per night, the low-use campground typically hosts just a few campers at a time. The Enduro Complex offers multi-use trails nearby for campers wanting more extensive recreation options.
