Driving directionsTravel 22 miles east on U.S. Highway 14A from Lovell, and turn left at the Five Springs Falls Campground sign. Travel this steep, narrow access road for two miles to the lower loop of the campground (not suitable for recreational vehicles over 25 ft. in length). The road continues to the upper loop, which contains additional sites.
Access road is steep and narrow, not suitable for RVs over 25 feet in length. The road is paved but includes challenging switchbacks. "The drive on the old highway 14 is a narrow nail biter, it is PAVED now. Did not used to be."
