BLM Susan Creek Recreation Site

This is a wonderful campground right on the river. Pads are paved and our site was impeccably groomed when we arrived. We had to do very minimal leveling. Ample shade throughout the day. The only downside to that was not being able to use our solar panels.

A huge bonus: free hot showers! The bath house was very clean and the showers were much appreciated.

I’m not sure if all sites that backed up to the river had a trail leading to the water but, our site (23) and others near us did.

There are trails to hike directly from the campground which is a bonus as we have 4 dogs with us. The fire in 2020 did a fair amount of damage in the area and we did come across two sections of trail that were closed as a result. We did walk down to the day use area and the Tioga Bridge. Lovely walk along the river. Across the street from the day use area is the trailhead to Susan Creek Falls. It’s a short and easy ‘hike’ to the falls and well worth it despite fire damage. It’s remarkable that the campground suffered very little damage from the fire.

Best sites are along the river: 22, 34, 24, 25.

The is minimal road noise during the day and almost none at night.

The only con that I have for this location is that we did have a couple of somewhat sketchy folks cruise through the campground repeatedly.

No hook up but they do have water spigots near most sites. The bathrooms and showers very clean.
