Nash Fork Campground

Area Status: Closed

Prior to 2021, this campground was once decommissioned for 10 years due to pine beetle infestation. With a partnership with Common Outdoor Ground, Forest Service employees were able to clean up the campground and get it in working order in 2021.

There are 27 sites, all with access to a picnic table, fire ring, metal barbecue grill, and vault toilets.

The campground is convenient to the Snowy Range Scenic Byway (State 130).  There are 102 recreational lakes in the area, with an extensive network of trails linking them including Brooklyn Lake, which is located 3 miles north of campground.

Dogs must be leashed in the campground. The campground still doesn't have many trees, but it is just as beautiful as before. The Nash Fork Creek meanders through the campground.
