Half a dozen sites spread along Cow Creek within Custer National Forest, this US Forest Service campground operates from mid-April through November. The sites feature picnic tables at most locations, with two outhouses serving as the primary facilities. Campers can fish directly from the creek that runs through the property.
Access requires driving in, and the campground accommodates big rigs despite its creek-side setting. The Forest Service allows alcohol on site but prohibits pets entirely. Reviews indicate minimal traffic, with campers often finding the area deserted. For additional creek-side options, O'dell Creek sits just over a mile northwest.
