About
US Forest Service campground. Access to Keeps Mill is difficult, but visitors with high clearance vehicles are rewarded with camping adjacent to the White River. This is a small, primitive campground for people who are interested in getting away from a crowd. 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.
