mkm Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Hey all, I was thinking of some camping later this month and thought about the dutch creek campground. Has anyone been there before? Is it worth a weekend? Whats the easiest way there? Thanks for any help as i will be with my girlfriend and getting lost on a forestry trunk road does not appeal to her!

M3M Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Hi MKM Dutch Creek is a beautiful campground. In my opinion it is the nicer campground between Racehorse, Dutch Creek, and Livingstone. Nice treed in campsites, some along the creek. Make sure your wife knows there is no running water or showers. Easiest way to get there is to head down highway 22 to Maycroft(Oldman River bridge) turn west 25 kms to FTR then turn north for about 6kms to Dutch Creek campground. This would be the most pavement.

reevesr1 Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 If you are hauling a big trailer, I would do 541 from Longview and then donw the trunk road. A lot more gravel, but the trunk road is smooth. Coming across the Oldman with a trailer is interesting! Steep and skinny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grannyknot Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 It's my favorite campground in an area filled with nice campgrounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigalcal Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I always stay at Racehorse Creek. I've stayed at Dutch Creek as well. I think that they are very similar..perhaps RHC is less popular/busy. $12 a night plus firewood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhuseby Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Great campground. If you have kids, a couple of the sites beside the creek have a nice pool for them to splah in right alongside. My daughter caught her very first fish out of that pool using a Doc Spratley on her spincast rod. She was six and Dutch is still her favorite campgound.

LynnF Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Dutch remains our fave campground. It's very popular and always full on the long weekend vs Racehorse which is just down the road. They're all very nice campgrounds...Dutch and Racehorse are hosted, Oldman and Liv are not. You won't go wrong at any of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reevesr1 Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Hey lynn, What do you mean by hosted? There was a guy at liv who came around in the evening for firewood. I thought they did all four site as they are managed by the same group. Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they did all four site as they are managed by the same group. Just curious. There are permanent hosts at Dutch and Racehorse who live there in their trailers the whole season and look after the campgrounds and what-not. I think those folks you saw do the wood thing for the OMR campground and Livingstone - might be the hosts for Dutch (they're definitely not the Racehorse hosts). I like the hosted campgrounds - keeps the rowdies down and away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
