Campground Trail starts at Bullfrog Lake and makes it way to the middle of Turf. There are a small number of punchy climbs and fast and flowy downhills, and a couple of mostly dry creek crossings. This trail is fun in both directions, but the middle section is the most fun in the eastbound direction.

      There is just to much moisture in the ground to use the system if it's not frozen. And more soaking rain is coming.
