Dispersed site at high elevation in the aspen surrounded by lava flows. No on-site information, picnic tables or toilet when I went. Was rainy and cold when I went - if you go with tent camping, pack layers and practice starting a fire with wet wood/bring your own supplies. No cell service for me here, so download any maps and send your messages prior to arrival. I personally loved this site, b... Dispersed site at high elevation in the aspen surrounded by lava flows.

Was rainy and cold when I went - if you go with tent camping, pack layers and practice starting a fire with wet wood/bring your own supplies. No cell service for me here, so download any maps and send your messages prior to arrival. I personally loved this site, but I could see it being miserable without the correct gear. Pack the right gear and it's amazing - I've never camped with an 9 foot high lava flow right by my campsite. Super cool.

The Duck Creek area is always beautiful and a welcome relief from the heat in the summer. The only real issue is that it has become increasingly popular over the last few years and can be difficult to find a good spot unless you go up early in the week.

I'm from Nevada and this is one of my favorite places to camp in the summer. My only complaint is that people throw large amounts of toilet paper in the bushes everywhere. I have a silly little youtube channel called Adrenaline Jackie where I pick up litter with my dogs but I really don't enjoy picking up people's nasty wet wipes. Please bring a few bags with you to throw the TP in! There's a... I'm from Nevada and this is one of my favorite places to camp in the summer. My only complaint is that people throw large amounts of toilet paper in the bushes everywhere. I have a silly little youtube channel called Adrenaline Jackie where I pick up litter with my dogs but I really don't enjoy picking up people's nasty wet wipes. Please bring a few bags with you to throw the TP in! There's a True Value hardware store 2 miles or so away that really has everything you need if you forget anything for your trip. They also have a good selection of groceries for a small town store. Some of the roads in this camping area are pretty rough for a regular car. I think the roads are passable with a normal car and some driving skills in most areas but be prepared to turn around or back up for a while. If you must bring a car, just take your time and be mindful of how high your car is so you don't rip the front off. Have fun!

This is what we saw when arriving. We promptly left as there was sheep and what they leave behind everywhere. Feel bad for the campers that returned to their camper to find this if it happened while they were gone and unaware.
