a rundown small group camp, only 6 small sites, not very good for larger trailers. You have to reserve this CG online. NOTE: The group camp associated with the nearby Anthony Lakes CG is much bigger and nicer for groups and is closer to Anthony Lake for access. This group camp does not even have water (aug 2018).
