[@LuxDehm]

Is there a ranger station for check-in, or is there just no check-in? Thank u

[@LuxDehm]

Is there a ranger station for check in or just a drive in type campground? Thank u

[@bananas33]

are there any creeks in the area that we could check out and cool off with?

[@LuxDehm]

Do you know if there’s a minimum age to camp here? Do they check ID’s with reservation at check in? Thanks

[@big_iron_]

How were you able to reserve a space? We are looking online and we can't seem to get a way to reserve any spots. Only says the first come first serve sites are open

[@TinCanTwosome]

It is high summer, so probably all the reservation sites are taken. If you can get there early in the day and preferably during the week, there could be some first come first serve sites left.

[@big_iron_]

@TinCanTwosome ah okay. The website said reservations weren't open until the 24th, but then I saw this video and was like how? Thank you :)
