Campground Overview

About Fence Creek Campground

Fence Creek Campground offers a serene and rustic camping experience high above the Clark Fork of the Stanislaus River, set amidst a diverse conifer forest. Its secluded location—accessible via Forest Road 6N06 off Clark Fork Road—provides a peaceful escape with 38 campsites featuring picnic tables and fire rings, ideal for those seeking a quiet retreat close to nature.

The campground's dirt roads and parking pads enhance its natural feel, while vault toilets are available for convenience. However, potable water is not provided, so campers should bring their own or treat water from nearby sources. Proximity to the river makes the area appealing for activities like fishing, and its forested setting provides excellent opportunities for hiking and wildlife observation.

Situated approximately 21 miles east of Pinecrest and near the scenic Highway 108 corridor, the campground lies within easy reach of the Clark Fork Recreation Area. This is well-suited for weekend getaways or extended stays for outdoor enthusiasts looking to explore the surrounding wilderness, including its volcanic and granitic landscapes.
