1 ReviewAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Fremont National Forest's Upper Buck Creek sits in forested terrain near a creek, operating as a free, established campground from May through November. RVs are limited to 25 feet. The site can be difficult to spot from the road, so slow down and watch carefully when approaching. Mosquitoes have been reported as a significant issue, so bring repellent regardless of season. Campers exploring campgrounds around Silver Lake will find Lower Buck Creek roughly a mile northeast as an alternative if this site is full.
