This campground contains 15 sites (11 are pull through) ranging from 35 to 55 feet in length. There are both dead end spurs and pull throughs. Sits in a meadow on a bench above South Clear Creek. A short trail from campground leads to an overlook of the Clear Creek Canyons and a waterfall. The campground stretches 0.6 mile along a "bench" (a level area) above South Clear Creek. The grassy field between camping sites and creek are dotted with wild flowers. Every site has a view of towering mountains dominated by Bristol Head Peak. Spruce and Aspen line the meadow and provide some shade. The campground is an excellent area for viewing wild life, especially moose. Quiet & secluded. Fishing in the creek nearby. **14 DAY CAMPING LIMIT.**
From Creede, CO, take Hwy 149 south (toward Lake City) 21.6 miles to North Clear Creek Road sign (Forest Rd. 510). Turn right at sign onto Rd. 510 (gravel) and go 0.3 miles to campground sign. Turn right at sign into campground.
Gorgeous views. Nice hiking trail to the south clear fork falls. The camp hosts also do an amazing job cleaning their pit toilets. Probably the cleanest I've ever seen. Loved the cows. Just had an amazing time here!
This is a wonderful campground with trailhead to South Clear Creek Falls. However, the 2022 summer campground host, Don, was HORRIBLE! He was EXTREMELY rude when we were exploring it as a campground to stay in. He yelled at us for making more than one loop to determine which site we wanted (there were maybe 2 campsites taken). I will be making a formal complaint about this. He literally parked his truck in front of the road when we tried to make a second loop and started honking and going crazy saying we had already been around once. He seems mentally unstable and should not be in a public service position. For this reason we left to go to another campground. Too bad, it is a nice location.
Nice and quiet place to camp, I saw many stars. Restroom is nice and clean.
