Natural features
The campground is situated on a hillside above the highway. Hundreds of hazardous trees have been removed from the site, opening up the canopy and reducing shade to a minimum. Several large spruce trees remain, however, and grasses and summer wildflowers are abundant in the area.
Recreation
A trail leads from the campground to small Boulger Reservoir, directly below the site. Electric Lake is approximately one mile away. Boating, fishing, hiking, biking and scenic driving are popular activities in the area.
