Need to Know
Spud Rock Site #3 is within Spud Rock Campground. This site does not have a bear box but hikers can use one of the other two bear boxes at the campground to store food. It is the smallest of the three sites and can accomodate up to 4 people. It is also the most secluded of the three sites. It also has a stone fire ring.
This campground sits on the east side of the range at 7200 feet (2195 m) with exceptional views to the east. Access is generally from the east, but Turkey Creek trailhead is very difficult to drive and requires a lifted truck or a jeep.
During the winter this area is often under snow. Call the park for current conditions. This area offers exceptional cover under pines and much lower temperatures to beat the summer heat.
Water is available at multiple areas along the trail during wetter months. At camp water is available seasonally.
You must camp within your assigned campsite.
