In the agency’s own words
This campground was decommissioned for 10 years due to pine beetle infestation. Through a partnership with Common Outdoor Ground, Forest Service employees were able to clean up the campground and get it in working order in 2021. The campground still doesn't have many trees, but it is just as beautiful as before. Nearly 1,000 seedlings were planted in 2025. It was recently closed in 2023 for a renovation to make the campground more accessible. Areas that were addressed for accessibility include campfire rings, site paths to connect spaces, and ramps for easier grade changes. Keep reading
Picnic tables were placed with enough room for wheelchair access but since they are not bolted down they may have moved. These changes were not implemented at every site, but wherever possible. There are 24 sites with access to a picnic table, fire ring, trash collection, and vault toilets. The campground is at 10,200ft and convenient to the Snowy Range Scenic Byway (State Highway 130). This campground will have a mix of reservation sites and first-come, first-served sites for the 2026 season. If you are not reserving your site, you may be able to pay for your campsite(s) by cash or check once you are at the campground. Modifications on reservations are not allowed for this site. This is due to limited capacity to update reservation placards when concerning last minute modifications as well as limited functionality with the modifications feature in recreation.gov which has only an ON or OFF toggle for site managers and no feature allowing modifications up until a certain time frame.

No reading yet, book on recreation.gov
recreation.gov lists 24 of the 28 campsites the agency files here. The rest aren’t on its booking system, so a reservation won’t get you one.
No availability snapshot inside the last 36 hours, so this page draws nothing rather than ageing a reading into fiction.
Watch for a cancellation
Full? Watch it.
One email when a night opens, plus More Than Just Parks dispatches. Unsubscribe any time.
We read recreation.gov once an hour, at 40 minutes past, and write the first time a site in your window is free for the nights you asked for.
Scanners that check every few minutes exist, and most of them charge. This one is free, it reads the same calendar, and it won’t always be first.
We make nothing when you book. The link goes straight to the government.

Who keeps the booking fee
The agency’s own policy text says the reservation fee and the cancellation processing fee are “retained by the reservation service contractor”, and that a campground concessionaire will decline to refund them because “they did not receive these fees”. Recreation.gov is run under contract by Booz Allen Hamilton. What share of your booking fee the contractor keeps isn’t published in any federal dataset we can read, so we print no number for it.
