The road from the highway is paved for 10 miles and graded gravel for 7 miles. Stay on the most traveled road. When there are Y's in the road, stay on the road on the east side of Currant Creek, following the Creek to the dam. When you get to the dam, follow the road almost all the way around the reservoir, and you will find the campground near the southwest end of the lake, a short distance from the dam.

Turn right at the sign and travel approximately 6 more miles east and south to the campground.
