About this campground

The road is gravel except for approximately 6 miles beginning at Cat Creek Campground and continuing to the FR 23 jct.  The gravel section is often full of washboards. The road provides access to the Snowgrass Flats and Berry Patch Trailheads, Walupt Lake Campground, and Adams Fork Campground.
