Beaver Creek Unti - Hot Sulphur State Wildlife Area

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Hot Sulphur Springs State Wildlife Area manages Beaver Creek Unit along CR 50 (Beaver Creek Road), where dispersed sites are spread across varying terrain, some along the creek and some above it. The road holds up well for most vehicles. Sites near the highway entrance tend to fill up; driving two or more miles up the road gives more space between campers. The Hot Sulphur Springs SWA - Joe Gerrans Unit sits just to the southeast, and the hot springs in town are a short drive away. This spot works best for self-sufficient campers comfortable with open, exposed sites and no developed amenities.

Multiple campers commented on the variety of dispersed sites along Beaver Creek Road, with creek-side and elevated options available. The area can get crowded near the highway, but visitors often highlighted that better privacy exists further up the well-maintained road.

Average dispersed camping, at best

There are several camping spots immediately after you turn off of the main highway that are down by the river. The area had many people already camping there, so we drove about 2 miles up the rough gravel road. We decided to take the first spot we saw, since we were only going to be there for about 12 hours. The site was open and exposed. Nothing special, but better than being right next to a bunch of other people.

Good place to stay a night

Update for others looking at this site wondering if COVID restrictions are up. They are. No more rocks blocking paths. Many people camping/ fishing down here. I’m bike camping and met other bike tourers on route here. The trans America trail goes through route 40 here. There are some clearly full timers who are living here. Relatively quiet. A nice river near by to to swim in.

Multiple Dispersed Spots Along the Road

Head up CR 50 (Beaver Creek Rd) and you will find many dispersed sites along the road. Some better than others. Some along the creek, some above it.

The road is in great shape and you should have no problems making your way up. Don't be afraid to keep going.

It's nice to have the Hot Springs at the bottom of the road for a respite from the boondocking.

Leave no trace.
