The place

the agency’s own description · what’s there

In the agency’s own words

This campground has 6 single campsites with picnic tables and fire rings. One toilet facility services the site. No water or garbage service is available, please pack out garbage. A nice camping area, although this campground was burned over in the Tripod Fire of 2006, so the site is mainly open with some blackened trees. The Tiffany Lake Trail #373 begins across the Forest Service Road #39 from the Campground. This road has not been graded recently and is not recommended for passanger vehicles. Trailers are prohibited.

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 a stay costs
A night, and a whole weekendDerivedNothing

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.

Booking fee, change fee, cancellation fee, no-show: Rules and Reservation Policies, Recreation.gov, the published fee schedule, curated by hand into lib/reservation-fee-schedule.json (9 rows, each carrying its own verbatim sentence).
