Natural Features: The group site is located adjacent to Reynolds Creek which runs year round. Opportunities for wading, fishing, and hiking abound. Berry picking is a popular activity in the Fall. A thick stand of ponderosa pine covers the group area, offering pleasant shade. A large meadow provides the perfect place for group activities and games. Recreation: The site is located between the Salome and Sierra Ancha wilderness areas and adjacent to the From the Desert to the Tall Pines National Scenic Byway . Two trailheads are located within a quarter mile of the campground and provide access to the Wilderness Areas as well as a lookout tower. Facilities: The site includes two large ramadas, eight picnic tables, group grill, large metal campfire rings, one vault toilet. Nearby Attractions : Workman Creek is located two miles to the south and has cascading waterfalls and bountiful berry picking in the Fall.
