Trout Creek Campground

There’s a 3 mile gravel driveway to get to the campsite. The camp host was extremely nice. She lended us an inflatable boat with oars to use in the river. Very friendly. Bathrooms are well kept and are just standard vault toilets. There are no hiking trails nearby. The only walking that can be done is a short quarter mile walk along the river. Each campsite has a paved area for a car, a picnic table, and a fire pit. Rates are $16 a night.

On one level this is an amazing, barely known gem for cheap weekend camping that's almost never full. On another level, it's the Wild West, so don't expect toilet paper or respectful neighbors at all times. Right off the river. There are better sites than others but be prepared for people to walk through your campsite to access the river. Also people park in the campsites for tubing, but aren't staying there.

Drove 3 hours to only discover that the gate was locked. The host was just on the other side of the fence and all set up. They even had a painted sign on the fence that said "can't wait to see you next spring" Spring 2026 I guess? So we decided to go down the road underneath the bridge and fish. It might be called Trout Creek Campground but don't fish in any of the water. I purchased a fishing license for the first time and my very first pole. Fish and Game came down and immediately wrote me a hefty ticket. I put the fishing line in the water three times and spent $200 on licensing the day before. Definitely a shitty experience all the way around.

Beautiful campground. Gravel road. Great access to the river.

This was our second year going in a row and we had a great time!! Clean bathrooms and great location right next to the river!
