The Canyon City campground provides a nice place to take a break from hiking, with several tables and two warming shelters. The campground is located just half a mile from the historic Canyon City townsite. By hiking the Canyon City Loop Trail hikers can see artifacts leftover from the gold rush days including the large metal tram boiler.
