The campground was developed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1937. Camp sites for tent camping are located under trees around the edge of the foundation of the old resort hotel that was built in 1910 and burned in 1935, in an unusual configuration for a campground. The Iron Mike Bubbling Spring (closed) once provided mineral water that was thought to have medicinal properties.  The campground is located near Trapper Creek Wilderness. Nearby trails, such as the Trapper Creek Trailhead, provide access to this Wilderness. There is a $5 day use at Trapper Creek Trailhead. The annual Northwest Forest Pass or an Interagency Pass is also applicable.

Availability at Government Mineral Springs Campground

CampFinder checks Recreation.gov every 30 minutes, around the clock, and emails you when a booked-up night opens back up. That catches most cancellations, which sit open for hours; at the few campgrounds that refill in seconds it can miss the race.
