Campground details
Setting
Curtis Gulch Campground sits at 6,640 feet tucked into a bend of LaBonte Creek at the end of LaBonte Canyon. Surrounded by granite rock formations, aspens, and conifer forest, the facility offers six campsites equipped with picnic tables, fire rings, pedestal grills, vault toilets, trash bins, and a hand-pump water well. LaBonte Creek runs past the sites, providing fishing for stocked rainbow trout. Non-motorized hiking begins on the Curtis Gulch Trail at the campground entrance, while the LaBonte Canyon and nearby Big Bear trails accommodate OHVs under 50 inches, bikes, and horses.
