Billy Creek

NF site, no facilities. Very quiet, only heard the creek rushing on a weeknight. No lights, which I prefer. Vault toilet (didn’t use, I pack ‘it’ out. No site numbers. Mine had a nice little clamber down to the (what looks and feels to me like) the spring fed creek. I slept great!

Very rustic, no electricity or water. Some 4 wheelers on the area roads. Does have a vault toilet 👍. First come basis and no fees

Every time I go it rains!!! Camping is good!

Small 12 site, no reservation campgrounds for mostly tents. About half are on the creek and the views and running creek sounds are very relaxing. Downsides are there was no water, no restrooms (they were padlocked) and no electricity. The ATV trails are around camp and the noise from the machines buzzing by can be a lot, but it wasn’t a busy weekend so not too bad. All this was fine for us as we tent camp but the wife wasn’t happy about the restrooms being out of service. There are a lot of trails nearby that are mixed use (horses, ATV’s, hikers) and we had fun crossing the river and hiking. If you cross the river you will probably get wet feet but the hiking was great. Overall it was pretty and kept the family entertained and wanting to return. Summer time would be great to swim in the creek.

We camped at Billy Creek in March 2019.  We were the only ones there which made it fabulous!  We set up camp right above the river and got to hear the river going over the rocks the whole time.  There was a easy and short little trail down to the river and lots of large rocks to hang out on.  The campsite has tons of big trees.  Each site has a fire ring, picnic table and grill.  Water is available, but not at each spot.  No electricity, no flushing potties, no showers, no sewer hookups, no wifi.  There are latrine bathrooms (2) in a small building near the entrance. There is an abundance of hiking trails, 4 wheeler/motorcycle trails and many trails that a full size SUV can do.  Lots of forest service roads to explore.  We stayed 3 nights and only saw people one day that came in to meet up and ride 4 wheelers.  We will definitely go back!
