The South Fork of Rock Creek provides fishing. Hiking trails include: Alamosa River to Rock Creek Trail 703, North Fork Rock Creek Trail 704 and South Fork Rock Creek Trail 702. Motorcycles are allowed on Trails 702 and 703. ATV's less than 50 inches wide are allowed on Trail 702 and it connects over to Blowout Pass. The campground facilities include 7 sites with tables and fireplaces, a vault type toilet and ample parking space for trailhead parking. There is no water or refuse receptacles. "PACK IN - PACK OUT"Maneuvering space for large trailers is somewhat limited. Big game hunting in the forest in season. Scroll down to Information Center to see individual site descriptions.

Phone before you drive
recreation.gov publishes no availability for a campground you can’t reserve, so there’s no thirty-night reading to draw here. The season bar above is what the agency does publish.

What you actually pay
Derived by CAMPANAC: the lowest per-night amount the agency’s fee record states ($10), and no booking fee, because this campground takes no reservations. A weekend here means Friday and Saturday night. Optional charges (an extra vehicle, a second tent, a dump-station fee) are listed separately and aren’t in this total.
