About Indigo Springs
Tucked away in nature's embrace, Indigo Springs offers an authentic wilderness escape where the modern world fades into memory. This intimate, primitive campground invites adventurers to pitch their tents beneath towering canopies and fall asleep to the gentle symphony of bubbling springs and the Middle Fork River's melodic flow. While the rustic setting and unpaved access roads make it perfect for tent and car camping enthusiasts seeking solitude, those traveling with RVs or trailers will need to seek alternatives, as the campground's wild character remains deliberately preserved.
Indigo Springs is a primitive campground designed for tent or car campers. RVs and trailers are not recommended due to limited space and no turnaround areas.
