Natural Features
The campground is located amid stunning ponderosa pines in close proximity to Clear Creek. In the fall, elk can be heard bugling in the early mornings and late evenings.
Nearby Attractions
The San Pedro Parks Wilderness, just north of the Clear Creek Campground, offers easy and scenic day hikes. The minimal grade increases of the trails into the San Pedro Parks make this wilderness an ideal backpacking destination for beginners and experienced backpackers alike.
