Currently at the Blue there is no charge for camping, however campers must have an annual fishing or hunting license or a Blue River Passport in lieu of the license.

At the end of Area 1 is a large camping site that can be used for group camping. There are two primitive rest room facilities in Area 1.

Great campground! Plenty of dispersed sites, with no cell phone access (visible on Verizon towers) which makes the trip more enjoyable.

Not bad
We ended up about halfway down on campsite 1 not to many great places to get with an overlanding rig the way they have it set up, but it’s pretty, there is a few trails that lead down to the river you can get a line in if your careful, not really any good swimming holes by where we’re at but it is really pretty so that’s a plus the toilets aren’t terrible we don’t use them but if you had to they aren’t the worst I have seen. There is just a lot of rowdy people here if that’s your thing this is your place, where we ended up isn’t terrible it’s decently quite but more people Than we’re use to but all in all for a free campsite you can’t beat it it’s pretty well maintained and not to dirty.

Annual Trip
We come here every February for a guys' trip. We camp and fish. Scotty's is a great place to stop in and get local fishing advice as well as a tasty breakfast/lunch. Campsites are far enough apart to feel secluded.
