Owen Creek

Owen Creek Campground is nestled among pine trees and grassy areas where wildflowers abound with its namesake creek running through and providing a soothing background symphony for a peaceful stay. Moose are commonly seen in, and around, the camp throughout the summer. In late summer campers can watch sheep herders and their dogs attend sheep herds as they graze in the surrounding forest and meadows. ATV trails that afford spectacular views begin nearby. The camp's eight sites can accommodate small- to mid-size RV’s and tents.
