South Fork
Newly re-built South Fork Campground is uniquely situated between large rock formations on one side and the South Fork of Clear Creek on the other. Its long wide spurs are ideal for larger RVs and motor homes, and a secluded area for tents is available across a walking bridge. Nearby is access to the ATV trail system and great fishing and kayaking in Tie Hack reservoir.
