FS618 (1/2 mile north of Clear Creek CG off Rt 260) has several dispersed campsites. The site where we stayed is on FS215 which veers to the right. Dirt road is a little rough but no problem for our Sprinter van. A hike trail is at the end of FS215 - West Clear Creek Trail. Last mile to trailhead is quite rough in spots. We happily stayed an extra night in this area!
