Castle Rock Campground

 Castle Rock Campground is located in Fishlake National Forest but it's managed by the state park division which means there aren't any discounts for national recreation pass holders however the camping fee covers the park day fee. By paying the camping fee for one night we had two days to see the park and museum, making it a break even cost. 

The campground has thirty-one sites, some pull through and some back in. The sites in the loop at the end of the campground road are double sites and are marked as such on the site number posts. There are also two sites with teepees. Amenities include picnic tables, fire rings, vault toilets, a couple of water faucets, and spectacular scenery.  Sam Stowe Campground, near the museum, has seven full hookup sites, restrooms, and showers. Both campgrounds will accommodate long RVs.

None of the sites are designated as accessible but the ground is hard packed and the tables have extended tops.  

 The road to the campground is about a mile long and gravel but fine for any vehicle. 

The Belknap Ranger Station, an historic site, is located about halfway to the campground. It's the location of a 1915 station (only foundations left) where the ranger and his family lived for the summer season. At the time it was very remote and the family grew their own food which they canned in the fall to use in the next year. The site has a short loop trail and interpretive signs. The trail is very rough and accessible only with a strong helper. Campground  38.55335, -112.35575
