Porcupine

Porcupine Campground is shaded by spruce and lodge pole pine, and the meadows and hillsides outside the perimeter are great places to view elk, moose and deer as well as wild flowers. Porcupine Falls and Bucking Mule Falls hiking trails can be accessed a short distance from the campground as can ATV trails and 4-wheel drive roads that lead to magnificent views of the valleys below. It is also a short drive to the Medicine Wheel National Historic Landmark and Bald Mountain City, an old gold camp.
