Park Creek Campground
This small campground stretches along the banks of the south fork of the Rio Grande among mature spruce and cottonwood trees. Many sites are adjacent to the river. US Highway 160 is very close by, so some traffic noise is common day and night. With heavy understory, the campground has the feel of spacious seclusion and is very cool and shady.
The facilities include 13 gravel sites with tables and steel fire rings (firewood is not provided), 2 vault type toilets, a centralized refuse bin and a developed drinking water system with hand pumps (in season) and adequate turn around and parking space for trailers. Some sites are wider and can accommodate larger RVs. This is a great nightly stop over campground for travelers on US Highway 160.
