Rim Campground

Nestled under the pine trees of Muddy Mountain and overlooking the valley below, Rim Campground provides 8 camping sites that include level tent pads and fire rings, with a few pull-through sites for large trailers/RVs. One double-vaulted toilet is provided for camper's comfort. 

Two trailheads lead to the Muddy Mountain Environmental Education Area, where an accessible Interpretive Nature Trail connects the Rim and Lodgepole campgrounds. The Area also includes a trail system accommodating hikers, mountain bikers, and horseback riders. 

Potable water is not available at the Rim Campground, but it is available at the nearby Lodgepole Campground.

Fees: $7/site/night and $3/extra vehicle/night. Access Pass and Senior Pass holders receive half off their camping fees.

Accessibility Description (ABA/ADA)

View images of accessibility features in a new window.

The parking area for Rim Campground is just off Muddy Mountain Road. The lot is packed gravel and holds about a dozen vehicles; none of the spaces are marked specifically for accessibility but the entire lot should be suitable for mobility device users. Cell phone reception is spotty.

A ring road connects the individual sites and an accessible double vault toilet, which is in the middle of the camping area.

Each of the 8 campsites has a flat surface for a tent, a fire ring with grill attachment, and a picnic table with inset legs that allow wheelchair users to pull up to the ends. Some sites have 2 picnic tables. There are no picnic shelters at the Campground but tree coverage provides some shade.

The Muddy Mountain Environmental Education Area includes a 2-mile accessible trail that connects the Rim and Lodgepole Campgrounds. It has 28 interpretive signs and two scenic overlooks.
