Upper Beaver Creek

This was pretty close to a perfect campspot for us. It's only a 10 minute drive off the main road from South fork, and 5 mins up from the main Beaver Creek Campground. The main is a bit more populated and traveled. The upper was secluded, closer to the water, closer to the reservoir, and only had 10-12 spots so not populated at all. Our spot was 15 ft from the water! The river is right there and beautiful. Each spot has water access also. We caught 3 trout right in front of our spot! Well shaded, fire pits with grates, and picnic tables. There are toilets and a water pump, no hookups or showers. Overall can't wait to get back here, by far one of the best spots we've ran across-$18 p/night.
