Comments:

This campsite (and probably most campsites around the Palisades) is pretty popular during the Summer, Mostly because of the proximity to the lake. There was just a tad of snow when we were there but we found lots to do. There is lots of hiking opportunities. The campground connected to trails that led to the Upper and Lower Palisades Lakes, it's a 3-7 mile hike. Some people hike in their things and camp there. My husband's favorite part about this place was the fire pits. they have a grate and a rotisserie bar that made cooking a lot easier. But on your way in through Swan Valley there is a gas station that has "World Famous Square Ice Cream." This is a must, the huckleberry ice cream was delicious. Overall we really loved Palisades Creek and are planning on going back later this year.
