About Brady's Camp Campground

Brady's Camp is one of two free campgrounds on the Mt. Hough Ranger District. It is managed by the Forest Service. It is one of the few campgrounds on the Mt. Hough Ranger District that allows OHV trail access directly from the campground. There are 6 campsites, which are first-come, first-serve with no reservations. It is located north of Hwy 70 and east of Quincy. Take Squirrel Creek Road turnoff (County Road 401), go 8 miles towards Argentine Lookout. This uphill gravel road is not recommended for RVs or trailers. This campground is popular during deer hunting season. This campground is at approximately 7400 feet in elevation so snow lingers late in the spring and it can close early in the fall due to weather.
