TravelerWe were going to the National Forest Service campground at Castle Creek, but found the road to be quite rough after turning off the main Mystic Creek road. We have a 25’ Sprinter B-box type RV but didn’t want to push the terrain. Found a beautiful dispersed site about 1/2 way to the campground and spent 2 nights there. Site right along the creek in a valley with majestic trees. Absolutely loved it!
GuideLoved this CG. Right at the foot of the Tower so great access. Car camped, cost $20. Sites were relatively close but wasn’t noisy. No shower but mostly clean BR. No problem getting a site even arriving at 4:30-5 (late September). Liked the no reservation approach which fits with my travel type.
GuideThere's not many spots that I saw and if u turn down the wrong road God help your tires. Other than that very nice. Great views of the valley below. Not tons of traffic.
TravelerThe sites are close and sparce, but the view is everything. The bathrooms are clean. No showers. Amazing place
RangerAbout 2 minutes from the paved Sundance-Warren Peak Rd on FSR 838.1C. Flat opening with a fire ring left by someone. Beautiful trees. No toilet. No cell service with ATT.
GuideFound a beautiful site if the paved road to the left. Amazing view down into the valley. Occasional visits from cattle, fall colors in the birch trees, and breathtaking night skies are making this one of my favorite boondocking locations. Sundance is only a fifteen minute drive away, so resupply is no problem. Definitely a place I'll return to
LegendBusy and good for kids, not exactly camping though
LegendOnly about 2-3 sites Up a very steep and bumpy road Would not take rv here
GuideThe spots are kinda small but nice. 5 day limit. Beautiful creek. Only "complaint" is lots of traffic on the dirt road but eh.
