Nice campground, plenty of trees, right next to the river, site #8 looks to be the one to get. Toilets but no water, 9,200 ft so can be a bit chilly in the morning, doesn’t get a lot of sunlight, close to the road but not that much traffic although there can be a lot of 4 wheelers/dirtbikes around. Site is adjacent to the Killpecker trial trailhead so a nice hike nearby – you can walk to the trailhead from the campground.
