Forks Of Butte Campground

Refer to Bureau of Land Managments map of Forks of Butte Creek Recreation Area. There is an unmarked road (Ditch Grade Rd) on standard maps that is referenced on BLM maps. Orient yourself with the map once you leave Skyway Rd. Its available in PDF on their website. In fact, I downloaded it at the trailhead. The road is slightly worse than the road to the bridge when you take the fork left on Doe Mill instead of right on Ditch Grade. There are barriers and a Danger sign about 2/3 of the way in. The path is clear and no danger is present as of today 9/9/24. There is a hiking trail from the bridge but I have not taken this to the camp yet I would estimate maybe a mile or 2. If I can make it in my VW New Beetle, you can make it in anything. A trash clean had been done recently in the camp a

I visited a friend camping right on the waters edge! It was beautiful! It was clean and quiet and I had a great time. We hiked and I looked for gold and then I went home. IT WAS WONDERFUL.

Beautiful place but currently closed. We set up camp and got kicked out the next day. One tiny sign a quarter mile in to the trail you can barely see on the way in describing why it is closed. We unfortunately missed the sign and all the explore butte county info we looked at ahead of time is out of date.

Nice place , lots of memories going there, getting a bit over used now days, and getting harassed by people isn't fun when your trying to enjoy nature and quiet time.

It's beautiful! EDIT: Forks of the Butte is no longer open and has been gated off. One more beautiful place you can't go visit because people can't figure out how to take their trash with them! 🤬 I don't understand why they just shut it down instead of patrol it? They drive down once or twice say it looks like hell and shut it down. Dirt bags don't care, their on to phuck up somewhere else and the decent people lose out. Law enforcement needs to be proactive and set up trail cams or set up volunteer days like they do for the highway or something. I'm sick of losing all my spots to enjoy nature!!!
