About
US Forest Service campground. The campground is composed of two sections laid out under Ponderosa pine. Parking on several sites is side-by-side providing little privacy between sites. The nearby Beaver Creek Reservoir features a boat ramp and fishing for Brown, Brook and Rainbow trout and Kokanee salmon. Open season: May 27 2022 . Not reservable through Recreation.gov, so plan on first-come, first-served; check with the ranger district for current conditions and fees.
