West Tennessee Creek - Car Camp

If your troop prefers to car camp instead of backpack there are several good campsites noted on the “West Tennessee Map” as campsite 2. This is .25 miles south of the access road going to Lily Lake. You need to turn south as shown on the map. The campsites are to the east of the road, all the underbrush at the campsites is cleared, the area is flat and can hold a large group (30 count). There are rock fire pits at each campsite, but no other facilities. Two creeks flow next to these campsites (North Fork of West Tennessee Creek and West Tennessee Creek). These streams provide a good drinkable source of water. Be sure to treat the water. This road is car driveable, but you must ford the first stream to get to the second campsite. For your information, the road to the campsite is part of the Colorado Trail and if you look carefully you wiil find the Colorado Trail symbol tacked to trees periodically.
