Copper Creek Campground

The campground is located right off the main road and sits alongside Copper Creek. It’s nestled within nearby neighborhoods, so you can see house lights along the creekside at night. Expect a fair amount of traffic noise as well as occasional train noise. There is one main trail—the River Trail—which provides direct access to Copper Creek. There are no bear boxes at this campground which is surprising given that this is Grizzly country. We came during the off season (no-fee) and there was no trash services. Recommend bringing bear spray and approved bear-proof containers for food/trash. --CAMPSITE NOTES-- Site 1: Very small; no tent camping. Extremely close to the road. Site 2: Small; no tent camping. Best open-sky view. Close to the road, with an extra water faucet and nearby bathroom. S

This is a wonderful campground. It has been one of our favorites for years. We've camped here many times in our tent and loved it. This year we brought our RV and it was just as wonderful. I don't know where that person who camped here said the campground was full of RVs and ATVs and no privacy 10 months ago was, but it wasn't here. 10 months ago would be last September....I doubt the campground was full then, as it would have been off season. Usually in off season, Forest Service campgrounds out here are empty and completely free to use. Also, the campsites are huge. Most are very private. So, that person has probably never been to this particular campground. In any event, we love staying here. If you do come, don't forget to drive the 1.5 miles down the road and visit Copper C

We had so much fun camping together as a family group. We took up 3 spaces all together. It's in a beautiful area with lots of lakes, a beautiful river, waterfall, and hiking to see and do! Spruce Lake has fish literally leaping out of it right in front of you! Only thing I would say is I would camp away from the camp host - more private. :)

The campground is beautiful and well maintained but the camp hosts are the rudest we’ve ever encountered (Mike & Dale Rhoads). They threatened to kick us out. All we wanted to do was have a place to camp and enjoy company of friends. They threatened other campers as well. We are middle aged and were not causing any problems and we always leave a clean campsite. These camp hosts need to be replaced with hosts who are not on a power trip.

Great quiet place. Beautiful trail by the river!
