Within Mt. Baker National Forest, Old Quarry by Sulphur Creek operates as a dispersed camping area managed by the US Forest Service. The site functions as an informal shooting range, with campers encountering a large open area that doubles as both camping space and recreational gun range. Access requires navigating potholed roads that can challenge vehicles.
One recent visitor noted the area works well for stargazing due to its open layout, though the dual-use nature means campers may encounter shooting activities during busier periods. The site sits relatively close to Depression Lake Campground for those preferring a more traditional camping experience.
