What campers say

Buck Creek Campground is a remote, scenic site set along a fast, cold creek with good swimming/wading spots and occasional wildlife sightings. The drive in is rough and narrow—many roads are gravel, potholed, and may be challenging for low-clearance or large trailers; some loops and turnaround options are limited. Amenities are basic: vault toilets (cleanliness can vary), no potable water or hookups, garbage service, and inconsistent camp host presence. Cell service is weak. Reservations are recommended. Bring water, toilet paper, insect repellent, and be prepared for a noisy creek if you camp right on the riverbank.
