Location Information
This high mountain campground and group day-use area is located on a site that was once occupied by the old Reef Townsite. Many relics of Reef's mining history, including the remains of the town's old water system and miscellaneous features, are still visible in and around the campground. Evidence of old mining digs and foundations for an ore mill provide points of interest along a three-quarter-mile interpretive trail which begins and ends at the northeastern end of the campground. In addition to the historic information, the views along that trail are well worth a visit.There are 14 single-unit sites with tables and fire rings. Facilities include toilets, garbage bins, drinking water, 2 grills and 2 food prep tables.
