Driving directionsFrom McCall, go 30 miles northeast on Forest Road 48, then 9.5 miles south on FR 674; or access from Warm Lake Road just north of Cascade, then down the South Fork of the Salmon River road.
Accessibility appears to involve forest roads (FR 48 and FR 674). Seasonal closures or limited access depending on road conditions are likely due to rugged terrain. The directions specify remote areas with potentially challenging access.

Best Time to Camp at Camp Creek

Early spring at Camp Creek brings a dramatic dance between winter's last breath and spring's gentle arrival. During this transitional period, temperatures create a refreshing mountain atmosphere, hovering between crisp 25°F mornings and pleasant 41°F afternoons. Nature puts on a spectacular show as nearly 4 inches of snow transforms the landscape into a winter wonderland, occasionally giving way to light rain showers. With clear skies gracing 40% of your days and gentle 4 mph breezes rustling through the pines, you'll experience the raw beauty of mountain weather in all its forms.
