The place
May 2023: Reconstruction work is planned for the Bighorn Campground this summer (2023). Once work begins, the campground will be closed. Upgrades will include vault toilets, new campsites, fire rings, and picnic tables. Reconstruction work is funded by the Great American Outdoors Act. Located in the Rock Creek drainage, this campground is situated right on Rock Creek in an old growth Ponderosa Pine and Douglas Fir forest. This area is known for its blue ribbon trout stream and rugged canyon environment. The campground is open year-round, weather dependent. There are no amenities from October through April.
