About Copper Creek
CASH ONLY - A great picnic, rest, or camping spot at the junction of the Paysaten River and Copper Creek. Nestled next to the river, this site has 5 level camping areas. Also a great spot to stop and rest for a while when travelling along Highway 3. Suitable for large camping units.
The fees for services are determined based on a detailed analysis of historical seasonal weather patterns. Site operators possess the flexibility to modify the specific dates for fee collections, allowing for adjustments within the established parameters.
