Description

Judging by the name you might be led to believe this campground is tiny, but there is no shortage of outdoorsy fun to be had here. Many people come here to catch rainbow or brown trout, some for the shade provided by towering aspen and junipers, others for a leisurely bike ride, and quite a few for hiking above 6,000 feet. You can expect a picnic table and campfire ring at each site, making it easy to enjoy copious amounts of s’mores every singe night.
