Fremont National Forest maintains Clear Spring Forest Camp as one of its more minimal sites, with a single table, one fire ring, and tent space for a small group along Dairy Creek. The campground runs from May through October. A spring across the road flows through a pipe into a small pool and has been noted for strong output. The low-traffic road keeps the site quiet by default. Dead Horse Creek Forest Camp sits less than a mile northeast for campers who want a comparison before committing, and those planning a longer stay in the region can browse camping near Fremont National Forest for additional context.
