McCrea Bridge Campground
McCrea Bridge Campground is situated along Henry's Fork of the Snake River. Like nearby Upper Coffee Pot, the area is rolling hills covered by a mature lodgepole pine forest. This campground is rather sunny and was quite warm when we visited. There is a nice boat ramp and set of docks here with extra parking.
