On-site recreation includes a nature trail accessible from the campground plus a horseshoe pit and volleyball court; beyond the campground the White River National Forest offers a wide range of activities (hiking, biking, boating, horseback riding, auto touring, wildlife viewing, winter sports and more) and diverse wildlife such as bighorn sheep and elk that depend on the surrounding wilderness and clean streams.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (16,625 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
