Garden Creek Campground is a free, primitive BLM campground with 5 first-come, first-served sites along the Big Lost River, offering vault toilets and fire rings but no potable water or cell service. Access is via Trail Creek Road (13.

7 miles west from Highway 93), which is typically open only during summer and fall months due to winter snow closures. The site provides a base for fishing, hiking to the nearby Deep Creek Trailhead (3.

5 miles south), and wildlife viewing, with a 14-day stay limit.
