β All Campgrounds
Campsites
There are 3 tent / RV camping sites. Each have a picnic table and fire ring with a grill attached. The road is gravel. These sites are very natural.
Water
No potable water.
Restroom
Older, outhouse toilets that were not too bad.
Firewood
No firewood available. You will need to provide your own.
Pets
Are allowed. A leash is always a good idea in the wilderness area. Watch out for wolves as wolves view dogs as competition.
Picnic Area
There is no picnic area but if one of the sites is open you could certainly use it for your picnic. I saw one family that hiked down to Marsh Creek to picnic on a small sandy spot by the water.
Handicap Access
Not at all.
RV Dump Site
There is an RV dumping station near Stanley and another at the Red Fish Lake Central Services area.
Host On-Site
No host.
Phone Service
There is no pay phone in the campground nor did we get service with our ATT cell phones. Stanley, Idaho, is the nearest location for a phone.
Garbage Services
No garbage services.
Fishing
Fishing in Marsh Creek is restricted. The regulations stated catch & release only with fly or lure using a single barbless hook. Check the regulations as things might have changed. The Cape Horn Lakes are a mile or so east of Beaver Creek Campground. I have not fished there so I have no report for you.
Boating
I saw no signs of boating / rafting from here.
Swimming
No swimming here as Marsh Creek runs swiftly.
Recreation
Marsh Creek Campground appears to be an "after-thought" to the trailhead so the obvious recreation here is hiking or riding the trail by horseback. Fishing in Marsh Creek would also be a reason for coming here. However, there are all the usual activities such as camping, bird watching, viewing wildlife, photography and more.
Wildlife
This is pretty, wild country so one could see most any of the the larger animals such as deer, elk, bear, moose, wolves and occasionally a mountain lion.
Fee Schedule
No fee.
Reservations
You may not reserve sites in Marsh Creek Campground. They are on a first come first serve basis.
