Backcountry with a picnic table

This campsite has picnic tables and bear lockers. It is located up the hill from the sign announcing it along the trail, look carefully if like me you've night hiked to get here. If you do not have a enough water for the morning you may want to consider getting some along the way as the nearest source is 3/4 mile downhill from the camp site.

Despite my own difficulties locating this camp in the dark I loved it. Nestled into the hillside there are still level tent sites. There are 4 picnic tables between what seem to be 3 sites each with a fire ring. 2 bear lockers are available for the whole site.

This is a very remote camp, peaceful and quiet. I imagine it is much less so during summer months when the bridges across Redwood Creek are open.
