About
US Forest Service campground. This campground is located about one mile west of the Stub Creek Ranger Station on County Road 99. This campground was situated in a mature lodgepole pine forest but mountain pine beetle activity has led to significant mortality and the cutting of the dead trees. Each site contains a tent pad, fire grate and picnic table. All campsites are available on a first-come, first-served basis. This area provides opportunities for fishing, hiking, hunting, four-wheel driving and wildlife viewing. Pack out what you pack in. Open season: 6/17 . Not reservable through Recreation.gov, so plan on first-come, first-served; check with the ranger district for current conditions and fees.
