Summer/Fall Camping
The Southwest Walk-in Campground is located on the east side of the Kohm Yah-mah-nee Visitor Center parking area. A short walk along a paved walkway provides easy access to each site. The Mill Creek Trail begins from the north side of the campground.
Winter Snow Season Camping
When snow is on the ground, the location of the Southwest Campground changes to an over-the-snow area south of the Kohm Yah-mah-nee Visitor Center parking area. Winter camping registration is located at the fee booth located south of the parking area. See the Southwest Area winter map below for more details.
Generally, the winter location is in effect from November to May.
