Great campground !

The road to the trailhead is very bumpy (you definitely need a 4x4 with good clearance). Be sure to call visitor center for driving directions (or follow the ones on USDA National Forest website) as Google will take you to the wrong spot. Good hike for first-time backpackers. Campsite #4 is the best, right by the creek. Campsite #1 probably has the most shade during summer. Have enough water for the hike back as most of it will be up the hill.

Great, Secluded Campground

Great, secluded campground that's only accessible via hiking. I was backpacking along the Pacific Crest Trail & decided to hike down the Crab Flats Trail to checkout Tent Peg & Fisherman's Campground.

Toilets, fire pits, bucket for water, bear proof trash cans, plenty of room for a dozen or more & easy stream access with fish!

The trail to Fishermans is extremely overgrown but besides that fine & easy to navigate.
