Ansel Watrous: Closest USDA Forest Service Campground to the Mishawaka for Concert-Goers and Anglers

The absolute closest USDA campground to the Mishawaka! Tucked under old-growth Ponderosa pines right on the riverbank, it’s a massive favorite for concert-goers and anglers. Expect classic canyon camping with tent pads, fire rings, and the river providing the ultimate natural sound machine. Book early on Recreation.gov, as these spots vanish fast! Sites are first-come/first serve during the off season- these usually get grabbed by Thursdays in periods of good weather.
