Jumping Creek Campground

Aspen campground is a nice 6 site campground sitting among pine and aspen trees.  The campground has one vault toilet and water is available.  Was surprised to find no one else camping here on a weekend.  Sites have plenty of room and each has a metal fire ring, BBQ grill and picnic table.  The only bad thing about this campground is that it sits right along U.S. highway 89.

Nice small campground, but next to highway

Nice little campground, only 6 sites and vault toilet. There is a water spigot available as well. The sites are pretty level and spacious. It is right next to the highway so it can have bad highway noise. But really close to lots of nice hikes and fishing holes. I did not get cell phone service with Verizon. Pretty close to Memorial Falls which is a really nice hike. 

Small but nice 

This campground was close to Memorial Falls which we wanted to hike the next day. The setting is wooded and right off scenic Highway 89. The fee for our site #6 was $5 plus $5 for extra vehicle. We were able to fit a small SUV and our pop up truck camper. There were only 6 sites here and we were the only ones here in midweek in late September 2020. There was a clean vault toilet, picnic table and barbecue stand. Simple basic campground near activities.
