Overview
Located on the western side of the Eagle Cap Wilderness and very close to the wilderness boundary, the Buck Creek Campground/Trailhead was built to meet the needs of both wilderness trail users and overnight campers. After crossing the Buck Creek Bridge off the North Fork Catherine Creek Road, the narrow dirt road travels through isolated forest and towering rock cliffs to the combination campground and trailhead.
The campground has large, up to 60 foot long, pull-through and back-in parking areas which welcome long RVs and horse trailers. Camp sites are used by trailers and stock users. Hitching rails and a loading ramp are available.
The area is also popular for mushrooming in the spring and berry picking in the fall. In late summer and fall, big game hunters use the site for day trips and extended overnight hunting trips.
The center parking island is used for wilderness trails visitors.
Primary use season of this campground is June to October.
Quiet hours are from 10pm to 6 am
Facilities
