The place
the agency’s own description · what’s there
In the agency’s own words
This shaded horse camp is located across the road from the Old Stage/Midnight Ridge Trailhead , which offers a great horseback, hiking, or mountain biking loop opportunity. The 6-unit campground offers parking spurs, picnic tables, rock fire rings, creek access for watering stock, and an outhouse. The area is fenced with cattleguards to keep cattle out. There is a 6-foot bypass gate adjacent to the entrance road cattleguard to allow stock users access to the trail system. There are currently no corrals, highlines, or hitching rails at this campground.

Nothing to book, just show up
One of 1,623 federal campgrounds where the site still goes to whoever pulls in first, and it costs nothing at all. Get there before noon on a summer weekend.
recreation.gov publishes no availability for a campground you can’t reserve, so there’s no thirty-night reading to draw here. The season bar above is what the agency does publish.

What you actually pay
Derived by CAMPANAC: the agency’s own record says there’s no camping fee, and no booking fee, because this campground takes no reservations. A weekend here means Friday and Saturday night. Optional charges (an extra vehicle, a second tent, a dump-station fee) are listed separately and aren’t in this total.
