Niagara Creek Area Camping
From Beardsley Reservoir to Niagara Creek
The campgrounds in this region are scattered along a portion of Highway 108 from Beardsley Reservoir to Niagara Creek. Some are primitive campgrounds popular with people who simply want a place to park their RV; others offer more thickly forested settings with more complete facilities.
All of the campgrounds in this area are first-come, first-served. They range in elevation from 3,400 feet at Beardsley Reservoir to nearly 7,000 feet at Niagara Creek OHV Campground. Lower elevation campgrounds usually open in April while those at higher elevations are often not open until late May or even early June, depending on snow.
