Snake Creek Campground
National Park Service - Great Basin National Park

The camp is not signed, but is located along Snake Creek Canyon Road.  It appears as just a little dirt trail going off the south side of the road.  Drive back there and it will open to a grassy camping area with three campsites with tables and fire pits with flip-over grills.  There is a pit toilet, but no water.

The campground is well forested with shady Aspens, Willow, Englemann Spruce, and a few juniper.  All the sites are on Snake Creek, which is a beautiful mountain stream.  The National Park Service says there is brown, brook and cutthroat trout in it.  I put in a full day of fishing and didn't see evidence of anything.

This camp can be used if planning to hike the Johnson & Baker Lake Trails from Shoshone Campground (about 1.5 miles away).  No crowds here.  There are also approximately a dozen primitive campsites up and down Snake Creek.  Reviewed SEP98, JUL03.
