2 Reviews of Fifteen Mile Creek Campsite
Cute low-key site on water and trail
Small clean campground on the CO Canal with vault toilets. Easy water access with a small boat ramp. A number of kayakers, canoes, and paddle boarders made use. Also a number of people fishing. At the entrance there is a small convenience store to grab supplies that you may have forgot. Did not go in, but their signs indicated they had a bit of everything.
Almost Perfect!
Small campground perfectly located & suited for perfect traditional camping experience!
