What Guests Are Saying

Owen Creek campground offers beautiful scenery with wildlife, particularly when camping near the creek. The hosts, Paul and Ann, maintain a clean and inviting atmosphere. However, it is located in a busy motorized recreation area, leading to significant noise and dust from ATVs, which may not suit those seeking a quiet experience.

Campsite number 1 is basically unusable during OHV season. It’s about 10 feet away from a highly used road. If you like to eat dust and the hear nonstop noise of OHV’s from 6am until midnight you will enjoy it.

We loved staying at Owen Creek. Must-see for us is always the Medicine Wheel. We also love hiking and enjoying the mountains and wildlife.
