Pole Bridge Campground

Grew up going to this campground. It's a great reminder of childhood every time we go back. The campground itself it well maintained. Couple things to be aware of, it is high mountain dessert, so while there are trees there is also a lot of grass and open area. Second thing is as always a reminder to those that come out here, clean up after yourself! So much toilet paper all over, we cleaned it up at our spot and burned it, but how gross to be camping in other peoples toilet paper. Burn it or Bury it. Leave no trace!

It was way out in the middle of nowhere you do need to figure out your own bathroom and trash situation. Bring it in and take it back out with you. We floated from one bridge to the other and had so much fun bring your intertube' people.

Free. And beautiful. 6 mile drive on straight bumpy dirt road and limited spots but if ur lucky you can get one on the river.. Btw this river is not warm

Mosquitos were in absolute swarms. Good camp ground except for the mosquitos.

Wonderful place to camp, definitely coming back!!

Brilliant quiet place to camp.

Excellent Campground, great space between camps, very beautiful area, mosquitoes are horrible

Dry camping great area just needed a bigger bear box for large groups

Contrary to some forest service sites, there is no bathroom at this campground. No garbage bins either. The area is pretty, but doesn't have any views of surrounding mountains/topography. There is great access to the river, which is more of a creek at this point (about 15 ft across and no more than 3 ft deep). There are fish in the river, but the fishing isn't very good compared to other places I've been. You're surrounded by lodgepole pine forest. The campsites themselves are too close together for an area with this much room. Campsites have fire pits, picnic tables, and bear boxes to keep your food. Mosquitoes are horrendous early in the year because the surrounding area is quite marshy, but once it dries up the bugs are only bad at dawn and dusk.

The area is not mowed or kept up. There are only two or three level campsites. Might be a good place to be mauled by a roaming grizzly if that is what you are into.

Beautiful scenery with enough dispersed campsites that you aren't right on top of each other. A bit of a bumpy dirt road for the last stretch. The mosquitos ruined the experience. They were there in droves and I wish I was exaggerating.

Would be a great place to camp if the forest service roads were maintained more than once every 3 years!
