Slocum Creek (Leslie Gulch) Campground

First come first served, even early in the season it was busy. Breathtaking scenery Vault toilet

The camp grounds are basic, but are in surprisingly good condition. The pit bathrooms were surprisingly clean and smell free.

I came in on a Wednesday mid-day and saw a number of folks driving down to and from the lake. There was only one couple sharing the grounds with me.

I highly recommend the star gazing if you come on a clear night with no full moon. Don’t be surprised if you see some bats flying around at dusk! I was also greeted by a wild rabbit as I was taking in the sights.

I heard what I think was a pack of coyotes howling at one another for a minute as I was going to sleep.

We enjoyed our three night stay at this campground. Despite it being a weekend the campground itself was almost empty. Stunning views. Great hiking in the nearby area. The road was manageable with a 2WD vehicle. No cell coverage. Pitted toilet. Free.
