Nearby Attractions

The Medicine Wheel National Historic Landmark is 4 miles from the campground. This unique geoglyph signifies all creation, all races of people, birds, fish, animals, trees and stones.

The campground was nice but when we got there, someone else had reserved our site for their friends because it said it was open. Thankfully, we arrived before the other group and had a copy of our reservation with us to prove we reserved it months ago. There were numerous sites that said they were open but were reserved.

Arrived at the campsite and our spots we had reserved said open tonight and tomorrow… there was a guy in one of the spots. He kindly understood we had a reservation. The spots weren’t marked as such. I have read this to be a past issue as well.
