What Guests Are Saying
Sheep Camp Primitive Campground offers a beautiful, secluded setting with stunning views of a pristine creek, shaded by giant pines. It provides a peaceful experience away from light and noise pollution, with a restroom available but no running water or electricity. The campground is conveniently located near Brandy Creek Falls Trail, although access to the lake requires a short drive.
