Reservations are available at this established Forest Service campground in Oak Creek Canyon, roughly four miles east of Oak City along a gravel access road. Nightly rates run $20 to $80, with significant discounts available for America the Beautiful pass holders. The campground operates from late May through mid-September, and water is shut off in early October for sites that stay open later in the season. RVs up to 45 feet are permitted, and water hookups are on site, though the gravel canyon road has given some trailer drivers pause, particularly those pulling rigs over 30 feet.
The layout includes around six sites near a grassy central area, with additional sites scattered upstream along the creek, shaded by oak, maple, and cottonwood. Each site has a metal fire ring, picnic table, and grill. Drinking water and both pit and flush toilets are available on site. One recurring note from visitors: the tap water carries a chlorine smell and taste, so bringing a filter or bottled water is worth considering. Fishing draws campers to the creek, and deer and cattle are commonly spotted on the road through the canyon.
Traffic on the gravel road past the campground tends to be heavier than the setting might suggest, with OHV campers often staging further up at Platnation Flat Campground and other primitive spots. Big Springs Campground sits less than a mile northeast for those wanting a nearby alternative. Campers looking for a broader range of camping near Fishlake National Forest will find options across the surrounding terrain. Weeknights tend to see lighter use, and booking ahead is advisable for summer weekends.
