The campground is located on the edge of the Lost Creek Wilderness Area. There are 12 campsites arranged around two lollypop shaped loops. Most of the sites are under a canopy of lodgepole pines with a few being out in the open. Facilities include two vault toilets and a hand-pumped water hydrant. These campsites are suitable for tents and small RVs. The roads through the campground are dirt/gravel. This campground is popular with hikers.
