Description

Campground Trail begins on the north shore of Bullfrog Lake near the circular parking lot.

The trail continues to the other side of the roadway bridge and follows a creek. The trail twists and turns through the woods with gradual elevation change and an occasional low dip.

The far end of Campground Trail ends at Turf. Going right will lead to Old Argonne Road. Going left will take you towards Psycho Path and Dynamite Road.
