During the Great Depression the Civilian Conservation Corps built a camp here
for the crews building the Greyback Road. Later it became a fire guard station
and camp for fire crews and finally a public campground. The 10 family
campsites are scattered along the West Branch of Indian Creek. There is lots
of shade and camping guidebooks refer to it as quiet, secluded and tranquil.
