About this campground

Marble Creek, which travels through the National Forest for about 20 miles, is named for its colorful deposits of dolomite, which was mined and used as Taum Sauk Marble; many years ago. The mineral dolomite is the main component of the sedimentary rock that is also called dolomite. It is similar to the mineral calcite but contains magnesium as well as calcium. Just based on looks, the rock dolomite is often impossible to distinguish from limestone, which is composed mainly of calcite. Previously, a grist mill operated in the area operated until 1935. Remains of the grist mill dam and building are still visible today. The site is remote, with the nearest town about 20 minutes away and there is no cell service. This is a great campground to visit if you are looking for a quiet visit to the forest. This is also a great place for swimming and fishing. Campsites are shaded by the tall trees around the area.
