The campsites are nice and big but not private. A covered area with a large tree trunk is an interesting attraction along with access to Rufus and Springboard Trails. Gillette Lake is in walking distance. The Springboard Trail #149 leaves from this campground. The campground and much of the surrounding area is open to licensed OHV use.
