Thompson Creek Campground

Thompson Creek Campground is a primitive, free BLM campground featuring 4 shaded campsites along Thompson Creek, each with a metal fire ring, located southwest of Carbondale.

Access is first-come, first-served year-round, but road conditions are challenging and not recommended during wet or snowy weather; the site offers no water, restrooms, or waste facilities, requiring campers to pack out all waste.

The campground provides access to the Thompson Creek trail featuring rare geologic fin formations and nearby Lorax trail for non-motorized recreation.
