Ditch Creek Campground is rather undeveloped and under used. Don't get me wrong, it is usable and for the right group it would be a place to create great memories. It is set along Ditch Creek across the road from the Red River about 4 miles upstream from the old Red River Ranger Station. The hills surrounding Ditch Creek Campground are covered with forest, and we saw deer and elk in most meadows as we drove along the Red River.
