Creek access draws campers to Nocomas Pass, a private campground where remnants of old oil wells dot the landscape. The property sits alongside a creek with waterfalls and swimming holes, offering both drive-in and walk-in sites with large fire rings. Several hiking trails wind through the wooded terrain, providing ample spots for hammock hanging among the trees.

Sites cost $15-$45 per night and include basic amenities like toilets, with firewood and alcohol permitted. The no-pets policy keeps the grounds quieter for those seeking undisturbed creek sounds. For campers wanting different amenities, Aldersgate Camp & Retreat Center operates nearby with additional facilities.
