About

**Bear activity has been increasing.  For this reason a food storage order [http://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/stelprd3806552.pdf] is in effect at all developed campgrounds on the Eagle/Holy Cross Ranger District, and the Piney Guard Station, Tigiwon Lodge, Mount of the Holy Cross Overlook, Homestake Road FSR 703, and Nolan Creek Road. This order requires all food and refuse to be stored in hard-sided vehicles, approved bear-resistant containers, or supended at least 10 feet clear of the ground at all points and four feet horizontally from any supporting tree or pole. This order has been issued to provide for public safety and wildlife conservation. Hopefully it will reduce wildlife habituation problems.  The Gold Park campground is located along Homestake Creek in the Homestake Valley in a forested setting. There are 12 camp sites available.  Holy Cross Wilderness [http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/whiteriver/recarea/?recid=81113] is nearby; all wilderness regulations [http://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/whiteriver/specialplaces/?cid=stelprd3825863] must be observed when traveling in the wilderness (foot and horse travel only). There are several trailheads into the wilderness within driving distance of the campground and the Homestake Reservoir is about 3 miles further west on Homestake Road. There is a printable Recreation Quicksheet for this campground [http://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd546397.pdf] which is complete with directions, details, and other information about this campground.
