The campground has tables, fire pits and vault toilets all near the creak. We prefer to travel further up the canyon to the desolate areas along the creak. Remember, if you take it in take it out!! Keep it clean so we may all continue to enjoy it for years to come!
Couldn't make it to campground in my van. High clearance vehicle should be used because of rocks in dirt roadway. First creek crossing before campground is not a crossing but the creek itself. 150 feet of the creek flowing down the road. These photos and video taken Mid August.
Very secluded and peaceful. You'll need a truck if you come from the east side of the canyon
March 22, 2022. The park is open. It would be best to have a 4WD regardless of what direction you enter. In my opinion, forget about taking an RV. We entered from the east, very bumpy, a little mud, and several stream crossings. The creek has a nice solid rock bottom. Leaving the park and continuing west, no cell signal. Lots of mud and soft shoulders in places. The last 4 miles are on finished dirt roads. The park is gorgeous.
Awesome place to go. Been going for years.
