Porter Creek Campground

the waterfalls at the end of the short trail were spectacular, their calm steady flow truly brought me peace and tranquility. I really loved the edges of the bedrock River, you could make out where the water carved out the rock over time, providing a perfect example of erosion.

Great little spot to camp and take a quick hike!

We did not stay here but did walk through the campground as it is currently closed for the season. Coming in off highway 12 it is a gravel road even a Prius can drive down. 🚗 I'm not sure why there are so many reviews claiming it is difficult as it is not. There was a prius, Honda Civic and a crown Victoria sitting at the campground when we got down there. I probably wouldn't attempt it in a car if it was snowy or muddy though. The trail to the falls is beautiful and a must see. We took our doggo down and she loved it

Make sure Google Maps doesn't take you through the Eastside of this area. You should go as if you are heading to Ocean Shoes and come in from 12. I guess due to travel time or mileage, GM took us from the I5 side that is 11 miles of a gravel road. Would not recommend for smaller/lighter duty vehicles. The other side is only about 2 miles of the same. Also, the sign for the trailhead was on the ground, but it's located across from the campground where there is this random wood fence with the path behind it. The trail was great with views of the rushing river and the falls at the end. A little muddy in some areas. Only saw a few hikers there, so mostly solitude.

Porter creek is a beautiful area to camp at in capital forest
