Directions from Winslow: Travel 25 miles south on Forest Road 34 to Forest Road 504, campground is located just off FR 504 at Chevelon Creek. From the south take Forest Road 300 to Forest Road 169, follow 169 north to the junction of Forest Road 504, turn right and follow the road to the campground.
Small camp area , no running water in the creek, & big wild cats in the area, mountain lions , bobcat , & maybe a bear wandering threw! A little traffic on the main road, quiet peaceful , be safe hiking
The country side was beautiful but the mens bathroom was pretty nasty and a few of the sites with fire pits had garbage. People always find a way to ruin everything. Pack it in, pack it out. Leave no trace. Always, please?
Way off the beaten path but well worth it, gorgeous views and very peaceful
Great campground with a clean vaulted toilet. Most of the camp sites are washed out or over grown from lack of use. Spent two nights in early September could of used more tall pines for shade but great views of the night sky. River was dry this time of year and we were visited by a Mt. Lion on our second night.
