Access and cell service

Elevation: 5,800 ft

Cell coverage by carrier (FCC map)

AT&T: 4G LTE and 5G (7/1 Mbps)
T-Mobile: No coverage at the campground; 4G LTE and 5G mapped about 0.2 mi away
Verizon: 4G LTE and 5G (35/3 Mbps)

Source: FCC Broadband Data Collection, data as of December 31, 2025

Outdoor coverage each carrier reports to the FCC at this campground's map point, and the nearest mapped coverage within about half a mile. The FCC map only includes 4G LTE at 5/1 Mbps or better and 5G; a weaker signal, a text, or an emergency call may still get through, but don't count on it. These are carrier predictions, not measurements, and can be wrong either way: real service in canyons, under trees, and inside a tent or vehicle is often weaker. 5G speeds are the FCC's 7/1 and 35/3 Mbps tiers. This product uses the FCC Data API but is not endorsed or certified by the FCC.
