Canyon Creek Campground
This is a small campground with 3 tent sites and a picnic area west of Melrose in the Pioneer Mountains. It’s a quiet campground located near Canyon Creek and the Wise River, which are great places to fish for brook, rainbow, and cutthroat trout. There are hiking trails nearby, meaning you’ll want to bring your hiking boots and a water supply and explore the scenic and rugged landscape. Trailer length should not exceed 14’ and water and garbage service are not available at this site.
