Bureau of Land Management maintains Camp Creek Campground on Malta Field Office land, providing year-round camping access via gravel roads that can become challenging during wet conditions. The campground features multiple large pull-through sites suitable for RVs up to 36 feet, though overhanging branches may pose clearance issues for taller or wider rigs. A creek runs through the back portion of the property, and the facility includes restrooms, potable water stations, and a dump station, though individual sites lack hookups.
Campers report the area stays relatively uncrowded except during hunting season, when conditions become significantly busier. The campground serves equestrian users with horse trailer parking and corrals, plus offers extensive trail access for hiking and horseback riding. Cell service remains unavailable, and the remote location means help is far away if problems arise. For additional camping options in the region, campers can explore campsites near BLM Land — Malta Field Office.
