Big Bend Campground
The Big Bend Campground is a 15 unit site that is popular with hunters and OHV users. The mining town site of Gold Creek, within the Island Mountain Mining District, is 5 miles south of Big Bend on county road 745. Very little remains of the town as most of it was moved or torn down in the 1920s. A plaque at the town site contains additional information. Located in an aspen grove surrounded by wide open country, this campground is approximately 15 miles northeast of Wildhorse Reservoir.
