Fly fishers targeting rainbow trout in Beaver Creek or hikers heading into the Frank Church via Trail #4021 will get the most out of this place. At $10 a night with creek-front sites, the value is hard to argue with if solitude isn't your top priority.
Sites sit close together on open grass with almost no screening between neighbors, so anyone sensitive to noise or light from adjacent campers will feel it. No potable water on-site, no showers, no hookups, and supplies are 19 miles back in Stanley.

<p>Beautiful setting along Beaver Creek, this campground is close to access for the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness. Fishing for trout in Beaver Creek, in nearby Cape Horn lakes, and in the many alpine lakes found along the trail in the wilderness. Trail #4021 leaves the campground to go north into the wilderness. Horse corrals with feeding stations are across the road, at the trailhead. Facilities at each of the 8 campsites include tables and fire rings with cooking grills. Within the campground amenities include hand pump for well water and newer vault toilets. While there are no full hook-ups, the campsites accommodate trailers and motorhomes up to 32 feet long.</p>
The elevation is 6,500 ft. This is a quiet, scenic campground on the banks of Beaver Creek and located near the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness. Most of the camp sites back up to and overlook the creek. About half of them are in the open. Although Lodgepole pines provide some shade, the grass understory and closeness of the camp sites provide little privacy. This is bear country; practice safe food storage techniques.
Open June 1 through October 15

Summer is the most reliable season here. Daytime highs reach 60–80°F, but nights drop into the 30s–40s°F. Trails into the wilderness and high alpine lakes are fully accessible from late June through September, and fishing on Beaver Creek peaks during summer flows. The campground stays quieter than lower-elevation trailheads, especially on weekdays. Snow lingers into late spring at 6,500 feet, and afternoon thunderstorms can roll through even during clear mornings.
Summer most reliable; daytime highs 60–80°F and nights 30s–40s; campground open in summer.
Within the campground amenities include hand pump for well water and newer vault toilets.
