Crater Creek Campground

Tent camping is available adjacent to the Crater Creek Trailhead in several nice camp spots with good views out over the valley. Hitch rails for equestrian use and a loading ramp. This area is popular for hikers, horseback riders, motorcycle and mountain bike trail users with trail access immediately adjacent to the camping area. These trails are not open to 4 wheelers as these trails are too narrow.

The campground/trailhead gives access to Eagle Lakes Trail #431, Crater Creek Trail #416, Martin Lakes Trail# 429 and more.
