Hand-pump drinking water is available from Memorial Day through Labor Day. The magnificent views of the surrounding mountains and forests provide a striking backdrop for visitors seeking a more primitive camping experience. Given its popularity during the summer months and first-come, first-served basis, early arrival is advisable to secure a spot at this coveted nature escape.
