Roaring river, almost empty campground

Elevation 7510 38°47′44″ N 116°50′58″ W Last 2-3 miles in the road is rocky but passable in a car or RV if driven slowly. Campground is in a lovely aspen and birch forest. Most sites are very private with some sites within sight of another site across the roaring creek. New tables, fire pits, grills and two of the three pit toilets are newer. Trail into the wilderness is a lovely canyon walk that is not too strenuous for the first mile to the first major creek crossing.

21 total sites 14 creekside 1 group site creekside 4 pull through. All need leveling 6 walk in

Most of the non creekside sites are on the north half before the bridge and are walk-ins. Some of the walk-ins have a parking space large enough for a 30’ rig but the roads are over grown enough to cause issue for tall rigs

Most spaces only accommodate a car, van or truck. Going in on the north side (straight as you enter the Campground ) there is a turnaround at the pit toilet. Do not go past here with a trailer or large RV without scouting it out first. The larger spaces on that side would accommodate a truck and 25’ trailer or possibly up to 30’ RV, but if the river is high and you cannot make the crossing at the south end of the campground you will have to back all the way out including across the narrow bridge!

No cell reception of any kind. Enjoy being disconnected for a while.

Free when we were there in 2024, but there were signs indicating that there was soon to be a fee.

Serene

I went mid-week in July and we had the campground almost completely to ourselves. The sites vary in size greatly but we found a lovely space with room for multiple tents and trees for a hammock. The stream adds idyllic camping ambiance. The vault toilets are adequately maintained. It is tricky to get there - Google Maps will try to take you through private property. I recommend using the directions on the forest service website.

Small and Remote

This small campground is located on Pine creek in Monitor Valley. It is on the small side and busy in the summer. Not a lot of sites so with a first come first serve policy you may find yourself without a spot if you don’t get there ahead of the crowd. It is nestled in Quaking Aspen so there is plenty of shade. Pit toilets, picnic tables and fire pits provided.
