Customer Reviews
This one the best campsites I've been to there was both water really close accessible through the creek that flows right by the campsite. There was an outhouse so that you didn't have to go and dig a hole to use the restroom. And there was fire pits and there's a lot of dry wood in the area so I didn't have to go far to provide fuel for my fire. Plus The View in the morning as the sun comes up is indescribable.
This campsite is .75 mi and about 300 ft down in elevation from the nearby water cache, which is located at the intersection of the bridle trail and backpacking trail at St Forest Road 6. The campsite is relatively flat with multiple fire rings and several areas to set a camp.
Camp 1 is huge. Plenty of fire pits and camp sites for multiple groups. We only met one other set of hikers while doing the trail. Very peaceful and relaxing here.
Nice camp location. Make sure you get water before you hike into camp. It is a big climb out.
It was beautiful
