The place

Located at the junction of Shawnee Creek and the Jacks Fork River, this campground is a fantastic destination for families. This campground offers a variety of sunny and shaded sites. The shallow creek is a favorite for kids and parents to explore, and a canoe launch allows easy river access. The nearby field offers another unique opportunity: Wild horses are frequently spotted grazing or running around. Shawnee Creek Campground is one of the best places to see this cultural resource.
