Sams Creek Campground

Sams Creek Campground is a primitive, free campground with just three sites nestled among pine trees near the Gospel-Hump Wilderness, offering access to nearby Crooked Creek and Sams Creek for fishing and water activities.

Each site includes a picnic table and fire grate, with vault toilets available, though water must be treated from creek sources and the campground is best suited for tent camping or small trailers due to limited parking and maneuvering space.

The remote location is typically accessible only June through October when forest roads are passable, requiring a 32-mile drive from Elk City via Forest Roads 233, 311, and 222.
