Clear Creek Guard Station in ID -- Campground & RV Camping

Clear Creek Guard Station is an A-frame cabin built in 1980 at 6,500 feet elevation, tucked against a mixed conifer and aspen forest near the confluence of Clear Creek and Crow Creek. The single-room cabin accommodates up to 15 people and is furnished with three single beds, a dining table with chairs, and a wood-burning stove for heat. There is no electricity or drinking water. Outside, the site features an outhouse, picnic table, and campfire ring. Visitors come to fish Clear Creek, ride nearby off-road vehicle and snowmobile trails, hunt, hike, and cross-country ski.
