The place
the agency’s own description
In the agency’s own words
17 campsites high in the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. A 3-mile spur trail connects the campground to the Continental Divide Scenic Trail, and on into the Bob Marshall Wilderness. Adjacent Memorial Square commemorates Theodore Roosevelt and the Blackfeet tribe with a miniature Washington Monument. Bears may frequent the area; keep all food out of sight in approved containers and remove all food from area after eating. Mandatory food storage is required.
Phone before you drive
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
“$5/night for an extra vehicle.” · the U.S. Forest Service’s own fee record
Derived by CAMPANAC: the lowest per-night amount the agency’s fee record states ($20), 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.
