About this campground

Located on the Hills Creek Arm of Hills Creek Reservoir, this day use only site offers two picnic tables and one fire ring. If fires are allowed, use caution during summer, as upslope winds can be strong off the reservoir.  Note there is no designated swimming area at C.T. Beach and no warning buoys for boaters.
