About
US Forest Service campground. Rock Creek Campground is a small, rustic campground with six sites, all along the edge of the creek. Sites are located on both sides of Rock Creek. It is one of the few campgrounds on the Mt. Hough Ranger District that allows OHV trail access directly from the campground. Other nearby activities include wading and swimming, and hiking the Middle Fork Feather River trails. The campground has a vault restroom, fire rings, and picnic tables, but no water. There are 6 units total for both tent and small RV camping. Pack out what you pack in. Open season: Mid May-mid-October. Not reservable through Recreation.gov, so plan on first-come, first-served; check with the ranger district for current conditions and fees.
