Great campground with several spots right on the creek. There is water available (from a hand pump) and pit toilets. This is the 4th campground up Rock Creek road from the Saw mill fishing access and it has the best sites available of the 4 (in my opinion) Just a couple hundred yards from the suspension bridge and Welcome creek trail head. There are several friendly mule deer that will bester you to no end but it's kind of cool to see them hanging around.
Gorgeous spot along the river. 10 spots, all FF. Campground is not at river level. There is ~20 ft bank leading down to the river. Vault toilets and hand pumped water. The road in is rough... mostly gravel and traffic generates a lot of dust. Wildlife includes eagles, deer and lots of annoying flies.
10 spots. Some on the river, some on the opposite side of the road. Easy access to the creek down a small hill. Pretty straightforward. Great campsite. Secluded from other sites. Water available.
There are installing updated restrooms. So portapottys is used for now. The water from the well pump tastes great. Rock creek next to campsite was great. And the hike trail near by started with a walking bridge.
All campgrounds are NOT accessible due to construction (mid August) except for Nolan--tent camping only. Unless you have 4 wheel drive and really high clearance to get over the fresh dirt dumped down the middle of the narrow road and no guarantee you can make it back to I-90.
