About this campground
Escape to this intimate mountain retreat where five exclusive tent-only sites await adventurous souls seeking solitude. Perched at 6,600 feet above sea level, each campsite comes thoughtfully equipped with its own campfire ring and picnic table, creating the perfect basecamp for your wilderness experience. Wake up to breathtaking panoramic views stretching across the horizon, and step directly onto nearby hiking trails that beckon you to explore the surrounding peaks and valleys. This hidden gem offers the rare combination of accessibility and seclusion that modern adventurers crave.
Junior Point Campground is designed for tent camping only, with five dedicated sites. It is a simple and rustic campground well-suited for those seeking minimal amenities and a more natural experience.
Weather and SeasonsExperience the dramatic dance of mountain weather at this high-altitude haven. Temperatures can shift dramatically from warm, sun-drenched days to crisp, star-filled nights that demand cozy sleeping bags and crackling campfires. Early morning frost often gives way to brilliant afternoon sunshine, while afternoon thunderstorms may roll through with spectacular displays of nature's power. Pack layers and prepare for rapidly changing conditions that make each day an adventure in itself.
ElevationAt 6,600 feet, this campground places you firmly in the mountain ecosystem where the air is crisp, the stars shine brighter, and every breath reminds you that you've left the lowlands far behind. This elevation offers the perfect balance - high enough to escape summer's heat while remaining accessible for most visitors without significant altitude adjustment concerns.
Natural Features and SceneryPositioned above 6,700 feet on surrounding peaks, this campground serves as your front-row seat to nature's grand theater. Sweeping vistas unfold in every direction, revealing layer upon layer of mountain ridges that fade into the distant horizon. The landscape transforms throughout the day as shifting light paints the peaks in hues ranging from soft morning pastels to dramatic sunset oranges and purples.
