  • Camping

    ​The Clear Fork and Iron Creek campgrounds are open. A full closure is planned at some point for Clear Fork for upgrades/improvements, potentially lasting into the Summer of 2019.
    Reservations canNOT be made on this loop, but you can occupy a site as a Walk-In until the loop is closed.

    ​Campers that have a Senior Citizen Aspen Leaf Annual pass affixed to their windshield receive a $3 discount off the normal camping fees on Sunday-Thursday nights only (not including holidays).

    Reservations can be made 6 months out, but must be made at least 3 days in advance of your stay. Reservations are not mandatory but highly suggested during the busy summer season. You can reserve for dates of stay May 18-Labor Day weekend. For dates of stay after Labor Day weekend, no reservations are needed and all sites are available on a first come, first served basis. Camping is limited to 14 days in a 45 day period.

    Beginning in December for reserved dates starting May 18, reservations may be made online or by calling 1-800-244-5613.
