Yes, it is one of our favorite CG's. Just a 2.5 hour drive and it sits at 9,200'. The CG has flush toilets and a shower facility {that we never have used}. As it sits in a National Forrest our Geezer cards get us in for $15 a night. Most of the sites are at least a quarter of an acre. The only down side is at that elevation it has a short season, usually from Mid May through September or the first snow fall which ever comes first.
That looks like straight line winds. All of the trees fell in the same direction and none of them are twisted off. I help with cleanup of many disasters here in Wisconsin, both straight line and tornadoes. That is some of the most dangerous chainsaw work possible. You have to study every tree that you cut and don't get in a hurry.

What wind speed does it take to do this type of destruction?
There were other places (1/2 km away) where tress were down in all different directions (the destroyed trailer area).
I've seen a few small areas with similar damage, but those were steep hillsides where tornadoes can't form. The lesson is that Ma Nature does whatever, whenever and don't get in the way!
