About Billy Creek, Upper Campground
Tucked beneath a grove of large cedar, fir and pine trees, Upper Billy Creek Campground is located across the road from Huntington Lake near the Kaiser Wilderness. Some sites at Upper Billy Creek offer lake views and others overlook Billy Creek and its abundant wildflowers. The location makes it possible to discover all the activities and attractions at Huntington Lake, and it's an excellent base for further exploration of the Kaiser Wilderness. The adjacent Billy Creek Guard Station Museum provides historical overviews of Huntington Lake, Native Americans and the Forest Service. Campground check-in at Eastwood CLM Office (east end of Huntington Lake). **FOR MORE INFORMATION [CLICK HERE](http://www.recreation.gov/camping/Upper_Billy_Creek_Cg_Ca/r/campgroundDetails.do?contractCode=NRSO&parkId=71588&topTabIndex=CampingSpot)**
