Campground details
Setting
Driftwood Campground features tent-only sites lining the shore of Three Creeks Lake, a 28-acre alpine lake set in a glacial cirque below Tam McArthur Rim at 6,550 feet elevation. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring with a grill, and vault toilets are available on site. Campers must bring their own drinking water. The location draws non-motorized boaters, shore anglers, and hikers heading out on the Tam McArthur Trail, which leads from the campground toward views of the Three Sisters peaks.
