Pretty spot with a cool little one mile loop trail attached. It is pretty isolated--about 20 miles off 126. No cell or wifi so be aware you're kind of cut off. I left on my third day due to a group of loud sketchy people setting up right next to me. If you camp alone something to consider.

Great area for the family. Nice cool creek to play in and cool off when it gets hot. A lot of the spots were pretty secluded from one another with brush. So it had privacy. Atleast by the ones we stayed at on the creek side. We will definitely be back!!

Not a bad location and beautiful river, but very dirty camp spots, no host, not taken care of at all, at least the time we stayed there. Not to mention someone was in our spot when we got there late evening.

Clay creek is a nice campground. The "host" were friendly and everything is clean.
Most if not al sites seemed to get shade and most sites seemed to offer privacy

We stayed in 20, and the website indicated trailer, but it was a tent site.

The campground is very beautiful and peaceful. The creak itself is lovely to spend time near and in. The campground was clean and well maintained.
Thank you!

This campground is a hidden little gem in the forest. It is unfortunate that BLM is not keeping it up to it's original standards.
