About Penny Springs Campground
Penny Spring Campground****is a treat for campers who enjoy the great outdoors in a remote area. Near enough to enjoy the Warm Lake area, but also a quiet spot out of the summer crouds, Penny Springs offers plenty of relaxing under the pine forest canopy. In the late summer months, visitors enjoy picking huckleberries and viewing trails covered in wildflowers. **Recreation:** Catch a fish in the nearby stream, view the wildlife and enjoy a picnic with friends. Don't forget your Motor Vehicle Use Map of the Cascade Ranger District. It is your guide to open roads and trails designated for hiking, biking, horseriding and ATV riding in the area.
