Be advised that bear incidents within the campground may trigger immediate prohibitions on tent and soft-sided vehicle camping. Issuance of such emergency order will require campers using these types of shelters to vacate the campground.
A spruce beetle outbreak killed a large number of trees which have recently been removed. The campground is sunnier now and has better views.
