Nice campground with several vault toilets and non-potable water. Easy access to Fish Creek. Fish are plentiful but on the smaller side, think fingerlings to about 6-7 inches. The fish are willing to take dry flies, they just are not big enough to get them in their mouth. Small nymphs, size 18-20, worked well.

There's a bear that comes every night. He won't trouble your tent or your car, but he will raid your ice chest. He stole my Reese's cups! Had a great time, will come again.

We arrived and found the place 100% empty. There wasn’t much shade, but there are good RV spots to pull into. Beware of the pit toilets, they’ll knock the wind out of you. There’s plenty of dispersed camping just down the road from here. I noticed a lot of dirt bikes which took some of the serenity out of trying to enjoy the forest. Still, it’s a beautiful part of our country and well worth the trip into the mountains. There is no cell signal here, and the closest gas station charges over seven dollars a gallon. Come prepared!

Yet another example of a campground I want to tell you sucks so you won't go... This place features large(ish) sites that are fairly spread out. The bathrooms are tight OLD plywood out houses. There is NO POTABLE WATER, but there is water that can be boiled before use. Otherwise be sure to bring some. The campground primary hosts off-road motorcycle folks in the summer so be ready to hear that a LOT. During our last visit (June 2025), there was an active bear getting into just about everyone's coolers/food. Be smart. Store all food in your vehicle. There are no bear boxes at this camp. Just up the road another 5 min is Troy campground where there are newer out toilets and bear boxes at each site.

I was there in early June midweek and the campground was nearly empty. On the weekends this site is used by motorcyclists so expect some noise.
