Beauty Creek Campground

This campground is mis-named: It is not beautiful and the "creek" is a dry creek-bed strewn with boulders and debris and unnavigable even for walking in or along. My campsite had absolutely no shade and the environment was so bleak that I went on driving, didn't even spend the night I had reserved. The FS road into it was a mess of very deep potholes and I was very happy that there was only a mile of it to traverse with my minimalist teardrop trailer lacking shocks and leaf springs. What a disappointment!

Beautiful wooded campground with spacious, level sites including picnic table & fire ring and nearby clean vault toilets & trash cans. Firewood available from host. Lovely sound of the water in the creek behind site 16 and an abundance of songbirds.

Lovely campground meadow near bubbling creek. Very scenic. Large group shelter with a number of picnic tables. Water pump.

Mosquitoes were present and hungry during mosquito hours. My bites became quite swollen and itchy.

Confusing campground layout because in the tent camping area, two picnic tables had roofs and others did not. Also, numbered picnic tables did not align with tent parking spots. Tent parking spots were lined up like a Safeway parking lot. We had a VW camper van and camped in that. Some people might be put off by the tent parking situation if they planned to sleep in their vans because parking spots are so close to each other.

Campground does have larger, more private sites which accommodate a truck and trailer, camper or other RV. They are the same price.

We did not see a campground host, but pit toilets were clean and stocked, although toilet seat lid had been broken off.

The road above the campground seemed very busy, not sure why.

I did not see where to input my Senior info in your on line reservations system. Is senior pricing available for this camping area? Thanks, James

Beautiful campground, smaller spaces. There are LOTS of huckleberry bushes in the campsites and along the access roads. In berry season you will probably see bears. Nice meadow for lawn games near the tent sites. The one downside is the site contractor,
. He is quite impressed with himself and yelled at a fellow camper about breaking "rules" that were not posted, and not found on the National Forest website. As long as he doesn't show up ( not likely, as he is having his daughter clean the toilets and empty the trash), you will really enjoy this campground.

Good hiking nearby. Comfortable site.

Site 15 was beautiful, lots of space for our 30ft RV, plus a separate area for a good sized tent. Sweet little path to the (currently dry) creek, which would be right behind the spot if it were running. Just a short walk up the road (maybe 1/10th of a mile) there was a beautiful running creek, and I believe there is a waterfall further up the road. Pretty private spaces with lots of bushes between, though sound travels.
We would stay again!

there was some miscommunication with the site we booked but the host made sure to make it right. really enjoyed our stay in this nice campground.

Very friendly and accommodating camp host!! Clean facilities, well-kept. Nice mountain views & nearby creek. Not the most stunning scenery, but not bad either. Latrine-style toilets.

Beautiful location! Lovely shelter in our campsite.
