Poison Creek Campground — Boysen State Park

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

At the end of a dirt road within Boysen State Park, Poison Creek Campground holds just a handful of small sites with open sightlines toward the surrounding mountain range and water. Sites run $18-$32 per night. The campground has vault toilets, picnic tables, and allows campfires and pets, with cell service reported on-site. Campers should bring their own water despite drinking water being listed as an available amenity. Star-gazing tends to work best here, away from town lights, and the area draws pronghorn from a nearby ridge. Those exploring campgrounds around Boysen State Park will find this one well-suited to self-sufficient campers who prefer smaller, drive-in sites over developed facilities.

Poison Creek Campground

The stark beauty of this primitive camping area was beyond words. At the end of a long dirt road, you will find this diamond in the rough. Featuring just a handful of small sites, the remoteness of this area is well-suited for outdoor adventure enthusiasts. Enjoy your morning coffee with a view of the water, mountain range in the distance and curious herd of pronghorn, investigating your presence from a nearby ridge. Perfect campground for star-gazing and just getting away from it all.

-Bring your own water

+Nice vault toilet (and a great view from the outhouse door!)
