This free Forest Service campground provides several forested sites along a muddy creek, with pit toilets and fire pits for basic camping needs. The older facility accommodates RVs up to 18 feet and offers non-potable water access. Forest roads lead directly from the campground for dog walking and biking. Campers can explore campgrounds around Whitman National Forest throughout the region. Cell service reaches the area despite the forested setting.
