Camp Notes: Nah, this can’t be Utah.  It must be the Olympic Peninsula.  Maybe that’s overstating it just a bit, but this campground really does resemble the camps of the rain forest in Washington State.  The dense, leafy vegetation forms a canopy over most of the place.  Very green.  Very shadowy.  This amphitheater also matches the rest of the decor here.  It’s a stone, double-deck affair, with small chambers in the lower section.

Camp Notes:  This small camp is the closet to Logan (and is attendant services) of all the Logan Canyon campgrounds along U.S. 89.  Be aware, however, that, if you entering the canyon from the west, this is (to quote the old tune) “just the start of something big”.  There are a number of other, probably more desirable, campgrounds within a dozen miles east of here.  Although this camp certainly has its redeeming qualities, it also appears to be a favorite handout of some members of the local party crowd.
