It’s closing day at Chalk Creek Campground! Another great season in the books—thanks to everyone who camped, fished, relaxed by the creek, soaked in the hot springs, and rafted with Monumental Expeditions. Your smiles and campfire laughs made this summer unforgettable.

We’ll miss the cottonwoods whispering and the river running, but we’ll be back before you know it. See you all next season!

Crisp mornings, golden cottonwoods, and quiet starry nights—fall at the campground is magic. 🍂 Set up by the creek, watch the hills turn from green to gold, and sip something warm by the fire while elk bugles echo in the distance. Days are perfect for scenic drives, leaf-peeping hikes, and soaking at nearby hot springs; evenings are all about blankets, s’mores, and sky-fulls of stars.

We’ve got a spot for every vibe—tents, RVs, and cozy cabins—and it’s calmer this time of year, so you can really slow down and breathe. Dog-friendly, family-friendly, and very leaf-lover-friendly.

We’re open through October 11th. Grab your fall getaway now and come see why this is our favorite season on the creek. 🍁🪵✨

After a few cool nights and a touch of moisture, the forest floor around Chalk Creek has started showing off one of nature’s quiet surprises—mushrooms. 🍄 Walking the trails and shaded spots in the campground, you can find clusters of them popping up in the grass, under the pines, and even along the creek banks. They remind us how alive the ecosystem is here, always changing with the seasons.

If you’re exploring, keep your eyes open—mushrooms come in every shape, size, and color. Some are big and sturdy, others tiny and delicate, and they all add to the magic of being outside. Just remember, admire them with your eyes only—many wild mushrooms aren’t safe to eat.

It’s a small but beautiful reminder that fall is on its way, and nature is quietly preparing for the next season.

There’s still time to get on the river before the season wraps up! Monumental Expeditions Rafting, located right here at Chalk Creek Campground, has just 2 weeks left of trips this year. Right now they’re running the Bear Creek section of the Arkansas River — a scenic and splashy stretch that’s perfect for late-season fun.

If you’re staying at the campground, it doesn’t get any easier to launch into an adventure. Walk from your campsite to your rafting trip, enjoy a day on the water, then relax back at camp in the evening.

Come join us for one more run before the season ends!
