Overview

Recreation

Popular activities include fishing, hunting, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, rock climbing and scenic driving. Huntington Creek is a Blue Ribbon fishery, offering high quality fishing for brown, cutthroat and rainbow trout.

The 4-mile Left Fork of the Huntington National Recreation Trail is nearby and open to hikers and horseback riders. The 10-mile Fish Creek Trail, for hiking, biking and horseback riding is also close by. Although horses are not allowed in the campground, two hitching racks are provided just across the highway.

Facilities

The campground offers one group campsite that can accommodate groups of up to 30 people. Four single-family campsites are also available. Vault toilets are provided, but there is no drinking water or electricity. There are no garbage services offered within the campground, so be prepared to "pack it in and pack it out". Roads and parking spurs are dirt.

Natural Features

Large spruce trees and aspens cover the campground, offering plentiful shade. Huntington Creek runs alongside the campground. The canyon area has numerous lakes and streams, vibrant summer wildflowers, colorful fall foliage and abundant wildlife.
