Fishing along Green Creek draws groups to this shaded, forested campground in Toiyabe National Forest, where the creek runs adjacent to camp with audible rushing water. The site is spacious, with room to spread multiple tents and several picnic tables across the group area. One vault toilet serves the site. Bring all the water you need: despite what some booking sites indicate, potable water has not been available since 2020. The drive in is long and mostly unpaved, so plan accordingly and reserve in advance for summer weekends. Those staging trips in the region can find camping near Toiyabe National Forest as well as nearby options such as Toiyabe National Forest Trumbull Lake Campground 2.9 miles south.
