About
US Forest Service campground. This site provides some shade deep in the high desert along Whychus Creek. There are picnic tables and a few campsites on each side of the creek. At lower flows Whychus Creek is fordable by high clearance vehicles. Pack out what you pack in. Not reservable through Recreation.gov, so plan on first-come, first-served; check with the ranger district for current conditions and fees.
