We arrived with a small boondocki g trailer and a lifted truck. The ranger/host was negative from the get go. She told us we couldnt get across the creek, but I knew we could, others had as well. She took her time looking through her clipboard for a place for us. We saw hiw close everyone was, how noisy it was for a Wednesday night. We left. Went up the road a piece and found a campground pretty much to ourselves, where the elk meanered through in the morning. I won't try Christopher Creek again.

We had a wonderful stay at Christopher Creek Campground! Sharon is an awesome and friendly host who does an amazing job managing and maintaining the campground. Upon arriving at the entrance to the camp, despite that it was sprinkling, she greeted us and helped us identify the best campsites that were currently available. Her sweet and welcoming attitude set a great tone for our trip. The campground itself was exceptionally clean and quiet, the bathrooms were well-maintained, and having potable drinking water easily accessible was a huge plus. We highly recommend this spot and look forward to coming back!

Camped 2 nights labor day weekend 2026 Nice campground, nice host, well kept. Multiple dumpsters and bathrooms (pit toilets). Running water spigot. Sites well spaced, room to run around. Was very busy, full, on holiday weekend. Creek was flowing consistently, couple cfs, this being early September. I think it is spring fed upstream. Unclear if flows year-round. Flood debris high up in the trees, I'd keep my eyes open during peak monsoon. Lots of crawfish for the kids to catch. Didn't see any fish, but again pretty low flow. Nice pine tree canopy. Not too many trailers, generators, ATVs, mostly tent campers. YMMV though Hiked Box Canyon, a mile or so down the highway, which was super cool.

We stayed at sites A13 and A14 in Loop A and had a wonderful experience. The campsites are very spacious—large enough to comfortably fit 5–6 tents and multiple vehicles. Restrooms are nearby and were clean with no unpleasant odors. Water access is just a short walk away, and cell phone reception was surprisingly good. The creek itself was running lightly, with enough water to enjoy and even catch crawfish for those who are interested. We even found an apricot tree nearby, which was a nice surprise. The campground was very peaceful and quiet, making it a great place to relax. One thing to note: firewood is not sold at the campground, and there aren’t many nearby options, so it’s a good idea to bring your own. Overall, Christopher Creek Campground is a beautiful and relaxing place, and we would definitely stay here again.

Plenty of available spots on a first come/first serve Wednesday in june. I got spot 25 for 1 night. Its right next to the creek and there's an easy way to climb down to it from the campsite. The camping fee booth is super easy to use and accepts credit/debit cards. Lots of pit toilets to use. No bathroom electricity or running water. Running water can be found throughout the campground at spigots.

Cristopher Creek Campground (CCC) was amazing! I have passed by this place 100 times but never stopped- My wife and I used this short trip to test the boon-docking capabilities of our RV trailer but found it to be so enjoyable! We were in site 35 and have a 20 foot trailer with bed pop-outs on front and back making is about a 30' end-to-end and it fit perfectly. Best-part was we were surrounded by the mountain and it felt like our own heaven. I recently returned from a two week camping trip in the Eastern Sierras and, unfortunately, had to deal with a jerk of a camp host. When we arrived the CCC, Cheryl was quick to come and meet with us and was friendly as ever! Her trips around the campground (about twice a day) was perfect. She kept the place well-maintained and beautiful at all times! Such a breath of fresh air! IN every single way! Thank you! See you next time!

Amazing campground, plenty of room to set up. There is table, grill tops, fireplace and a bear safe. The host Sharon was extremely friendly and helpful! Life saver on the way out when our car wouldn’t start and she jumped us off! Much appreciated!!💕 We’ll definitely be back, campground was very well maintained. Bathrooms were very clean, the smell is obviously unavoidable. Beautiful views and lots of wildlife to enjoy.

First time camping as a family and this was definitely an awesome experience, no body in your business just you and nature. The outhouse was clean just smelt awful 😂 nothing you can do about that. I was expecting more hiking options but you kinda just had to make your own path and hope for the best. My kids loved it (3 and 1 years old). Will definitely return with my extended family. Thank you everyone!

We've been camping at christopher creek for the past decade and it is always reliable for a relaxing time. I would recommend staying in the b loop as it's a little more spacious and backs to the creek. My son has thoroughly enjoyed exploring the creek from when he was 5 to now 16 . It is very clean and we'll kept. Only a 20 minute drive to woods canyon lake and 20 minutes from the nearest grocery store. Christopher creek is the best camp grounds to make long lasting memories.

Enjoy this camp ground a lot. Rained 2 out of the 3 days we were there - but still was beautiful and relaxing. Camp host was friendly and made sure everyone was ok Durning the storm.

This is a wonderful campsite that is pretty well maintained. The camp hosts are friendly and informative. This is a go to place for me and my 2nd time going this year. The sad part is the creek is dry and there's barely any water in it. The pictures of the creek in this post was from June. I'm hoping the creek will fill up again soon.

Dusty and Cindy were so welcoming and kept up on the fire restrictions and made us feel so safe with the dry forest. They also kept up the campground by keeping bathrooms sparkling and picked up trash from the campers and groomed the grounds. Thank you Dusty and Cindy!!!!

To the amazing park ranger on June 12th 2025, I will forever be grateful for you and your time helping fix our broken down vehicle at the campgrounds. We were completely stranded and he was so generous to help us in any way that he could. You will forever be in our hearts forgetting myself and my baby boys back to the valley safely.

Lovely campground situated around Christopher Creek. Potable water, grills, fire pits, and pit toilets. Popular place with lots of kids and families around. Make sure you have headlamps for after dark and are physically prepared for the cold plunge temperatures that happen overnight.

It has amazing campsites! Easter weekend they were all first come first serve and they are all great sites. Of course, some are better than others. They have bear proof lock boxes at each campsite to secure wood and other items. They have fire pits and grills at each site as well. It did decide to snow Friday night so it got pretty cold but it made for a beautiful Easter weekend out of the Valley ❤️🏕️
