About
This facility has 4 developed sites each with a picnic table and fireplace ring. Sites 1 and 2 would accommodate small trailers or tents. There is a foot bridge that goes across Ivy Creek from a small parking lot to the developed camp units 3 and 4, which are suited only for small tent camping. Parking space tight but is ample. No firewood or refuse receptacles are provided. This campground is considered to be remote and is normally not heavily used, yet it is very attractive with the free flowing creek, and open grassland nearby. This area looks very different now due to the removal of dead and dying trees, a result of the spruce beetle. The road into the campground is too narrow and rough for large trailers and RVs. The campground is really more suitable for tents and popup camping trailers, as there are no long developed spurs or pull-throughs. Scroll Down to Information Center to see the individual campsite descriptions. This is also the site of the Ivy Creek Trailhead and Bulletin Board. All Parking for the trailhead users is outside the fenced in campground where there is a hitching rail and room for horse trailers. Ivy Creek Trail #805 goes into the Wilderness and provides the quickest route to Goose Lake. This is a trail open to foot and horse travel only. Here you will find district maps, Weminuche Wilderness maps and information and trail registration forms. 14 DAY CAMPING LIMIT.
