About Bay Creek Campground
Stretched along the edge of the Jacks Fork River, this campground is the largest backcountry campground in the park. In contrast to nearby Alley Spring, this location offers mostly shaded sites. Each summer, campers are drawn back to Bay Creek by cool waters and lush canopy. In addition to the lovely landscape, the adjacent river is a fantastic place to see wildlife, from Bald Eagles to White-Tailed Deer. Campers, floaters, and hunters all make consistent use of Bay Creek.
