South Fork Campground

We really liked this campground. Most of the campsites are shady and private. We were the only campers when we were there so we took a more exposed spot with river access. The toilets were clean and the Larry, the camp host, was so friendly!

The campground is next to a trailhead. We stopped at the cave, but didn’t go in and then took the Cliff Lake Trail up a couple of miles. Beautiful views. The trail was a little overgrown so I was glad I had on pants.

Overall, a great place to camp!

We came across South Fork Campground based on The Dyrt's recommendation. It was so beautiful! We were on Campsite #11. It came with a firepit, picnic table, and a front row view of a beautiful stream with gorgeous views of tall trees and mountains. There is a bathroom nearby with vault toilets. It was self-pay, cash only, $27. It was very secluded and peaceful. No WiFi service. This became our favorite campsite of our trip.

Campsites were a bit overgrown and 3 sites were closed due to downed trees.  The trailhead for the South Fork Trail #1827 and Spring Cave Trail #1834 are at the back of the campground.  

Spring Cave is open from mid-April to mid-August and requires a permit from the forest service. In addition, decontamination rules must be followed to protect the bats. Check the forest service website for full details.

The South Fork Trail follows the South Fork of the White River for 16 miles. Nearly all of the South Fork Trail is in the Flat Tops Wilderness.

$20/night

No Potable Water

We stayed at this RV Park a few days after an early snow storm hit the area. We needed electrical hookup and a spot by the river :). This campground exceeded our expectations. The spot was beautiful, clean and the managers were very friendly.
