Last fall I drove an Accord to camp in Stanton crk, only hit a couple of times. Fishing was good right at camp.

Cool thanks for the info. I'll have a little more clearance than an accord but not much haha.

Don't tell anyone but your best spot is Blue Notch Canyon. Here is some more detail on how to get there.
Red Canyon to Blue Notch
I have a map that shows the Red Canyon road going into the Blue Notch campground. Does anybody know if that is possible anymore? And when they show a campground there, what is is really? Thanks in advancewayneswords.net
Was curious if we were to park the car at bullfrog marina and paddle somewhere to camp if i would have to pay for camping fees or just the 7 day park entrance?

Just have to pay the park entrance fees. The only camping fees are at the camp ground itself. Look at the NPS web site there are a few rules for camping. If you are a certain distance away from the restrooms you are required to have a portable toilet.

I believe if you camp at Stanton creek area you have to pay the daily camping fee of $6.00? Not sure of the cost. Check with the park for actual answers to this. You do have to be a certain distance from the marina's to camp. Peter

You have to be a 1/4 mile from the ferry ramp on one side of bullfrog and 1/4 from the marina ramp on the other side . Cant camp at the hobie cat area . Trust me I have tried to camp as close as possible. Stanton is perfect you can camp right by your car for a small fee and the fishing is great.

I believe the cost for camping at Stanton is $12.00 per night, unless you have the “Old Farts NPS card”, then it’s $6.00 per night. It doesn’t sound like your qualified. Also, camping near the lake means you won’t be near the bathrooms. They are closer to the high water mark. Sq
Since the haystacks were mentioned above, I took a pic while I was down there this past weekend.
Hope that helps you find them!

Awesome thanks! hope you had fun down there.
The last mile or so doesn't play nice with lower sitting vehicles. I took my minivan down the road, which probably wasn't the greatest idea. No damage was done to the van, but it was nerve racking for sure. Had there been any significant rain, I would have been stuck for sure. Despite the elevated heart rate at each fork, I continued making decisions. I tried to always take the fork that led to higher ground rather than the wash. Well it worked for every fork except the last one. I don't know how to indicate the last one, sorry. It did get a little hairy on my way down because I knew there was as beyond the point of no return place that I had to cross. Luckily for us, the clearance of the vehicle, strategic placement of rocks, and angles of attack allowed passage down and through the last gully. We made it to the shoreline and were blown away at the amazing calm. The water was glass. The sounds of nature were filling the air. the last thing was to unload the kayaks and get to fishing. We only caught one little striper for the day, but it was sure nice to be there.
Thanks everyone for all the info on this site. I love being a part of this group.
Technically, they are part of that chain, I believe. I think we're looking at Mount Ellsworth in that photo - which, along with Mount Holmes, is separated from the main chain by about 5 miles (to the southeast). Of course, most of my info comes from GoogleEarth, so take it for what it's worth.
