Hi Ramon,
Yes, you can arrive at anytime to claim a Monte Cristo campsite that has not all ready been occupied.
Good morning, is Monte Cristo Campground open?, and how many campsites are available?
Hi Charles,
Monte Cristo Campground is open. It has 19 first-come, first-serve campsites. We’re not ‘on site’ so not sure about availability but it should have some campsites open over the weekend, and mostly open midweek.
How would I pay the fee? Would it be a good place to stay for hunting surrounding areas? D11.
Hi Hugo,
There is a self-pay kiosk at Monte Cristo Campground. Not sure about the hunting in the area.

Is there any service at this campground?
Hi Alivert,
Cell service is poor/spotty at Monte Cristo Campground. You might have better luck with Verizon, but overall cell service is not so good.
