Beautiful Area

The tall trees make things a lot darker before it actually gets dark. We only passed through the area, but this site was very remote with a fire ring someone created.

Primitive but gorgeous

Such a beautiful forest surrounding the campground. Lots of great hikes nearby and easy to just go on a walk in the woods. Sites are primitive but the location is amazing.

We went camping twice this past week because it was so beautiful! We entered near Cougar and passed Lower Lewis Falls. There are multiple sites along the road, some have plenty of room for RVs but I wouldn't want to drive one on the roads. We explored the Forrest and ended up driving all the way to Trout Lake. Found great sites for multiple people, on the river or off the river, and multiple sites that are smaller and more secluded.

"PRIMITIVE" site in Gifford Pinchot NF

This site is amazing people have already set things up for tent camping. There is space for RV but I recommend your really good with it. Has a fire pit with rocks. Plenty of firewood in woods. If you look hard enough you can find a PRIMITIVE toilet (plywood stand with toilet seat). The area has enough space for group campers. We did also see elk in area coming from south on NF 9038 from Cougar there were other sites we picked this one. Have fun please keep it clean and leave it the way you left it or better for others!
