Steel Creek Campground

watch out for traffic coming in and out

$12 per night - A peaceful place to camp right next to the river, with some basic amenities.
* Steep, curvy but paved entrance. Gravel parking area.
* Actual bathrooms that are centrally located. Not available year round.
* Easy river access via multiple trails - however some of these declining trails can be hazardous to elderly or very young children
* Nearby canoe loading area.
* Hiking trails
* Can fill up quickly during peak season - first come, first served.
* The main swimming area includes a large boulder that visitors can jump from while not being TOO dangerous. There is also a fresh, underwater spring that feeds into the river here, so it's very clean and cool.
* Large dumpsters are near restroom for waste

You can camp here for free during the off season. Gorgeous area with large cliffs along the buffalo river, close to the buffalo river trail and a couple of nice swimming holes.

The road down to the campground can get a little sketchy in winter or wet weather. Call the ranger station before you go and ask for current conditions.

Great site, but be sure to show early in the peak summer months because these sites are first come first serve.
