I need information about this area planning on going on a 4 day bowhunting trip to this location. Is spots open for camping, I will be bringing my pop up camper? Do you need any additional permits? I have never been to this location so any information would greatly be appreciated. Planning on being there Dec. 29 thru Jan 1st.

Clyde you can camp at Bear Creek Lake or Storm Creek Lake--nice camping areas. I've hunted on that WMA before, but it's been a long time ago.

Are these camping spots open year round?

Not sure about Storm Creek, but I think Bear Creek is open year round.

Bear Creek has an excellent, new camping area. It was finished just last year. I believe fees are about $30.00 for a big RV (may be wrong about this). Visited with one of the techs last weekend. He said the deer population is good. Storm Creek has a camping area also and it is closer to the Stumpy Point hunting area on the south end. However, the campsite isn't nearly as good as Bear Creek. Vandalism is a problem there also.
