Camping at Jack Creek Campground

Generally open May to November as weather and conditions allow, this campground is situated in a historic area surrounded by cottonwood trees along Jack Creek.

Jack Creek Campground is primarily used as a sportsmens camp for fishing and hunting. It could offer full time RVers and road nomads a good two-week stay except it’s a long drive into town for amenities, and doesn’t really offer much cellular signal.

The road in is rough, and high clearance is recommended, perhaps required, due to potholes and boulders and rutted road. Trailers can be pulled into here, but will definitely have to go it slow.
