Ranger Creek

Tucked tightly in a forest of tall lodge pole pines and bordered by Ranger Creek meandering though the willows, Ranger Creek Campground is conducive to tent camping and small campers. It is often visited by moose, mule deer, wild turkeys, elk, a variety of birds and other kinds of wild life. Brook, rainbow, and brown trout swim in the surrounding lakes and streams. Wildflowers bloom in late spring and early summer, filling meadows with a variety of colors. In addition to fishing, many ORV and hiking trails are available within a few miles of the campground.
