The Sulphur Springs Campground is the starting point for the Elk Creek Trail. This trail is a main route into the breathtaking beauty of the Marble Mountain Wilderness. One of the main attractions of Sulphur Springs Campground is a warm springs located along Elk Creek. The temperature of the springs is approximately 75 degrees and can accommodate five or six people at one time! All 6 campsites are walk-in, approximately 50 yards from the parking area.
From Happy Camp south on Forest Road 16N05 (locally known as Elk Creek Rd) approx 12 miles to the campground. Portions of the road are improved gravel. Brown Forest Service signs direct the way.
Best place ever but very small and very secluded..loved this place but wife was on edge every minute as we did see big 🐱 tracks..I slept like a baby😏
It was a place I've never been to. Ppl in that area are realy nice .watch out for rattle snake s
While there I was trying to remember a more beautiful place, and this area was in steep competition with my favorite places within the continental u.s. Remember to get your campfire permit and don't let the mining claims dissuade you - or the miners - they have rights only to minerals, not the land (just make sure you are definitely on national forest land which is Google map-able, and don't attempt to pan for gold on another's claim).
I love camping here. It is remote and never a crowd in fall or winter. There are great hiking trails even after the fire.
