Falls Creek Campground

Awesome campground. Right on the creek, close to trails. There are Bathrooms, but no potable water. Pack it in, Pack it out! No dumpster.

We were driving the scenic 20 to the west side, disappointed it was closed past Winthrop, and had to make new plans. This place was an amazing happy accident! We felt lucky we ended up here. It was dreamy, and we couldn't have planned a better weekend getaway. We spent hours taking in the beauty of the waterfalls. Easy to get to, and we only saw two other people.

We only drove through the campground and used one of the 2 nice men's/women's outhouses. It was right next to the river. It looked like you would need to bring your own water. Campsites were very spacious. We actually came to see the falls. The trailhead was just across the street from the 1st entrance of the campground. The sign was very small and we missed seeing it right at first. It was a very short and easy hike to the first falls. We didn't venture up any further to the other falls because my husband had a weak ankle and didn't want to chance twisting it on the rocky, steep, switchback tail. Lots of evidence of past forest fire. Flash flooding can happen if heavy rain hits.

Such a peaceful little place just right off the road. Enjoy a nice paved path for handicap access all the way up to the base of the waterfall. It's an absolutely gorgeous to see in the spring and summer time during the heavy runoff and enjoying the cool mist of mountain fresh water!!

If you want to beat the summer heat in Winthrop, drive a few miles out of town, and walk this lovely, easy trail. The waterfall is beautiful, the air is moist and refreshing.
