Pocket Creek Camping

Mountain bikers and dispersed camping enthusiasts will find walk-in sites along Forest Road 3540, about 2 miles up a paved forest road from Government Camp. The National Forest location allows both pets and alcohol while providing access to creek-side camping spots. One reviewer successfully navigated the route with a travel trailer, noting some potholes but manageable conditions at slow speeds.

The area features at least seven van-suitable sites scattered along the access road, with a couple additional spots that can accommodate trailers on level ground. Traffic remains minimal, with only occasional dirt bike riders passing through. For those seeking more developed options, Camp Lumos sits just half a mile southeast along the same forest road system.

Pocket Creek Gem

We actually left our Casita at the previous campsite to drive around and see if we could find some good gems and we sure did! Our rig mad it up to this flat spot on FR3540 about 2 miles up a nicely paved forest road. Now, there were some potholes but driving slow we were able to easily get our rig plus our Casita to this spot. We backed her up right by a little creek and the grounds seems pretty level for us. It’s quite from traffic and have only see 2 dirt bikes drives by. There are at least 7 van sites on the way up and maybe a site or 2 more (that we saw) where you fit a trailer…we just got lucky no one was here. But again plenty of site for vans or tints off this road.
