Shafer
The campsite is surrounded by canyon walls, but they provide little protection from the sun and wind. A small ridge adjacent to the campsite provides some shade in the late afternoon and possible protection from the wind. The site is large with good flat spots and a packed dirt base.
Limits: 15 people and 3 vehicles
Toilets: The site has a private toilet.
River Access: The site has no river access.
Bicyclists and four-wheel drivers must stay in designated campsites. There are 20 individual campsites arranged in 10 camping areas. There are toilets at each area. When there is more than one campsite at a location, they are generally positioned to be out of earshot and, as much as possible, sight of each other. Each campsite accommodates up to 15 people and 3 vehicles. Motorbikes and trailers are considered vehicles for these group size limits. Keep all camp activities within the post that mark the campsite boundaries. Campfires are not permitted.
