Emerald Creek Campground

Emerald Creek Campground features 18 campsites, potable water, and vault toilets a short distance from the campground. The nearby Emerald Creek Garnet Area is one of our most popular recreation sites where, for a small fee, one can dig for gem quality star garnets.

Mosquitos can be prolific throughout the season, consider bringing bug repellent.
