Name: Grayback Gulch Campground
Grayback Gulch Campground is along the hill above Mores Creek. Many paths and trails are perfect for hiking or for your ATVs. This is a very nicely developed campground. Paved roads throughout and cleared out underbrush along with the pine trees give this campground a civilized look while maintaining the rugged charm of the wilderness. Grayback Gulch is scheduled to have a camp host, however the forest service is having a hard time finding a host this year.
Campsites: There are 2 double camping sites, 16 single camping sites, and 2 group camping sites. The group sites should be able to accommodate 100 - 150 people. Single sites have a picnic table, fire ring with grill and lantern pole. The doubles just have two driveways.
