Puma Campground
Situated within a shady, mature forest, Puma is the last developed camp along Forest Service Road 18 in the Fall Creek drainage. This 11-site campground is popular with families, and you can expect heavy usage on summer weekends.
Fall Creek offers a cool way to escape the summer heat, and the nearby Fall Creek National Recreation Trail provides hikers with additional adventures along the drainage.
