Backcountry Camp 65

This backcountry camp is a short 1.2 or so miles from the trailhead. The trail leading to it is a forest service road, wide and mostly flat. The trail runs along Noland Creek with multiple access points for fishing. The campsite is a short spur trail off to the left of the main trail, look for a sign. The trail leading to it has a small creek crossing about ankle deep and about 8 feet across at the time I was there. There are multiple places for tents and hammocks, it is a fairly large site. Several picnic tables, not in good condition but usable to store things on. Bear cables near the back of the site and 1 main fire ring in the middle of the camp. It looks like a very peaceful site that doesn't seem to get a lot of use despite how close it is to a trailhead. We will be going back to spe

Stopped to have lunch here, nicely tucked off the main Noland Creek trail with a small stream crossing. While this is a horse camp, the stream crossing was a little washed out and might be difficult for nervous horses. The campsite appears to have been a homestead at one point, there is a flowerbed of lillie's in perfect rows and across the creek there is a pipe embedded in the rock which water flows out from. Very pretty setting in a peaceful alcove with clean water access.

A really neat site. A short hike from the trail head, and set back 100 yards from the main trail with a little connector. I've heard and called in owls each visit. Screech on this visit but barred on a previous one.

Off-Grid awesome! Just awesome!
