What campers say

Middle Fork Campground is a small, well-kept forested site where many campsites back onto a clear creek and offer scenic views of cliffs and rock walls. Visitors consistently report very clean vault restrooms and a quiet, dark-sky setting good for stargazing. Sites are often shaded and work well for tents or hammocks, but they aren’t highly private and can be fairly close together. There are no electrical hookups and cell service is limited, and evenings near the water can be chilly. Short hikes and fishing opportunities are available; the campground is popular, so book early.
