About

Each site contains a tent pad, fire grate and picnic table. Most campsites lack shade. Additional facilities provided include restrooms, trash service and drinking water. Popular activities include fishing in Willow Creek, scenic driving, hiking and wildlife viewing. Open season: June 1 . Not reservable through Recreation.gov, so plan on first-come, first-served; check with the ranger district for current conditions and fees.
