Pacific Valley Campground
Pacific Valley Campground is located off Highway 4, just 1 mile east of Pacific Grade Summit. The campground is spread through an open lodgepole forest with a number of spacious campsites. This informal campground is popular as a staging area for those headed south into the Carson-Iceberg Wilderness, whether for fishing, camping, horseback riding, or hunting. A popular trail heads up the valley and after 3 miles crosses the shoulder of Bull Run Peak. Great fishing is found at Mosquito Lakes, only a mile to the west. To the east a few miles lies Hermit Valley, another good fishing destination.
A few amenities are provided at Pacific Valley Campground, including vault toilets, tables, and fire pits. Potable water is now available at the campground from hand pumps. Visitors with stock may camp at the southern end of the campground near the trailhead. There is room there to park a number of horse trailers.
