Kirby Gulch

Spent 3 nights here for memorial Day weekend. Was able to get up there early enough to get a good spot, but the spots went quickly! Designated dispersed with great views. On the west side of the road they are close to the creek but not protected from wind, on the east side the sites have more protection from wind. Lots of wildlife sightings! The road early on isn't too bad but having a car with some clearance would be helpful, especially the farther up the road you go. Great trip

We got to the start of camp spots early on a Friday and it was already like Disney land. We thought we could drive up a ways to escape people but after and hour of driving there was not a single spot available. This place is pretty but it’s basically a camp ground and sooooo busy.

This campground is beautiful and low traffic during the weeks

This was a great campground. No amenities. Plenty of room to spread out on every site. The creek is orange and smells like rust but that is really my only complaint. There is some traffic on the front campsites but it’s not much of an issue with all the room. #27 has to be one of the nicest camps I’ve ever seen.

About 15-20 of us camped at this site (#19) the weekend after the 4th of July, and it was an incredible, mostly private location. The road to other sites is close to the communal camp area only our group used but tons of area for numerous tents and tent sizes beyond this area and away from the road.

Across the road is the creek where the dogs (and humans) lived it up!

We will definitely be back to this spot!

Super bumpy roads - must have an SUV or truck.

As you drive in, you’re met with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. You’ll find that the first few sites are less desirable in that they are close together and lack tree coverage but keep driving and the sites become more private and pushed back from the road. A few sites are a little bit of a hike from the car - but not all are like that.

The river can be heard from almost every site and it was great to fall asleep to.

We went on Memorial Day weekend and were still able to find a site.

We got there around 9am on the Friday before Labor Day and it was already packed. We found two spots available and chose #37. Beautiful views throughout the campground (not from our site) we hiked, the kids played in two different creeks, and we enjoyed having space between ourselves and other campers. Incredible stars, and quick access to the trailhead (which was packed all weekend) Since it was a holiday weekend, cars were constantly driving up the road in search of a site. We even had one night where a group set up camp in a non-site area right beside us and drunkenly sang Queen songs until 4 am but thankfully the ranger kicked them out a few hours later. When we left on Sunday afternoon there were many spots available. Definitely need a vehicle with high clearance since the road is very rocky. There are few places to turn around and if you come on a busier weekend, you may want to grab the first spot you see.
