Buckeye Campground
Buckeye Campground provides a quiet camping experience along Buckeye Creek and is shaded by Jeffrey and Lodgepole pines. Popular activities include hiking along Buckeye Creek into the nearby Hoover Wilderness and hiking on Eagle Creek to the flanks of Eagle Mountain. Buckeye hot spring (140 degrees F) is just east of the campground. The spring comes out above the creek, over a rock overhang, which creates a cave-like area in the pool. This is a very popular spring year round. Fishing in Buckeye Creek offers different kind of fishing experience to get away from crowds.
