This single loop campground is situated next to the South Fork of the Michigan River at an elevation of 8,920 feet. There are seven campsites with a maximum spur length of 22 feet. The campground is next to a meadow with dense willows, a favorite habitat for moose. The sites are well shaded by aspen and lodgepole pines. Facilities include one vault toilet and a water pump. Each site has a picnic table and fire grate. These campsites are more suited for tents or small RVs and trailers. There are no defined tent pads. The road through the campground is dirt.
