Copper Creek Campground

Quiet busy on weekends NFS rules 14 day stay

Copper Creek campground is situated close to copper Creek just prior to its juncture with the middle fork of Rock Creek. It has eight sites and although most of the forest is burned it is a beautiful campground. The camp host is friendly and he keeps the campground clean. It is very quiet, peaceful and relaxing. You are within a few miles of two trails that will take you into the Anaconda Pintlar wilderness area and another trail that is the Easthouse recreation trail. If you drive up for a service road 1511 for about a mile and a half you even have a cell phone signal. Road 1511 is just south of the campground and heads off to the southeast.

This has to be one of the most peaceful campgrounds I’ve even been to. It’s 10 miles off the main road so there is no street noise to speak of. But watch out for the cows as you drive in, they aren’t too fond of sharing the road. Only 8 sites with a host at one of them, you don’t have many neighbors. I was not able to camp here as it was totally full and according to the host, was going to stay that way for the week. He said it stays quiet except when a family with kids show up. He also said the fishing was pretty good in Copper Creek. The vault toilet was clean (his least favorite job), he will split a log or two if you ask real nice like, and there are two bear boxes for the 8 sites to share (he said most don’t bother to use them). The water pump delivers good clean spring water from the well. Every site has a picnic table and a fire ring. If you want solitude and quiet, this is the place to camp!
