Navy has 20 campsites with picnic tables, fire rings and paved parking spots. Drinking water and vault toilets are provided. The campground is open from late April through Labor Day. Campsites are first-come-first-served. Follow the link for current forest alerts, rates and directions to Navy Campground.
