Beautiful area and campground. Picnic tables need paint. This would be a good Eagle Scout project. Bathrooms super clean. A bear proof garbage dumpster similar to Yellostwtone in or near the campground would be nice. We did not have cows in the campground this year which was great. Cowpies on the ground are not fun with toddlers. Can the cattle ranchers be made to repair the pole fence around the campground as part of the grazing permit? Perhaps a strand or two of barb wire would help. The cows jump the fence and break the upper horizontal pole We have camped at Indian Creek every year over the last 40 years. How often are the dirt roads graded? The washboards are not ideal. Yes money is tight, I would be willing to pay more for the items described above

It’s a pretty spot, but it’s a group site spot. It’s a great spot if you’re into atvs/side by sides. If you come be prepared to listen to motors and music from sunrise to after midnight.
