What campers say

Arcadia Campground is a small, scenic forest site set among Ponderosa pines with many shaded spots, fire rings, and attractive views. Vault/pit toilets are available and generally maintained; potable water is reported at upper sites near the group area. There are no hookups or on-site host and it operates as a fee area. Access involves a narrow, steep forest road with switchbacks that can be challenging for long rigs, and some sites hear nearby road traffic. Weather can be brisk and winter snow/ice or seasonal closures are possible. Good for those seeking quiet, tree-lined campsites if you accept the access and noise tradeoffs.
