Rio De Las Vacas Campground

Tall Ponderosa Pines and meadows frame the Rio de las Vacas Campground. The Rio de las Vacas stream runs alongside the east boundary of the campground and offers fishing adjacent to camping sites. The campground is located approximately one mile past the Clear Creek Campground. May to October, picnicking in the open meadows, fishing the river or hunting the forests make this campground popular throughout the season.
