Beautiful and Spacious

Absolutely beautiful and spacious. It was a little hard to find, but granted we showed up in the middle of the night so I added to the struggle. There is a picnic table and a campfire pit to designate the camp spot, which was nice. The table at the spot was a little bit eroded, but nothing we couldn’t handle. There is a beautiful little creek right next to the campsite.

The only negative I would say is that the first night at about 3 AM we heard some random gunshots go off and a chainsaw And then about an hour later, someone walked up to our campsite, which was a little sketchy, but overall, we were OK.

I will also say that there is a beehive right above the campsite that we were at so the bees did go a little crazy, but we did not get stung and my dog was OK

The road to get up there is a bit overgrown and there’s a lot of potholes so just keep that in mind

We did have a few deer walking through our campsite through the middle of the night, and my dog loved chasing them away

Secluded & beautiful Meadow

This secluded camp is well worth the effort to find. I've been 3 times and finally decided to add it to The Dyrt. Upon this return, I tried to find it online (Six Rivers's official site) but found no info. There are two ways to this camp, the longer from Willow Creek, or the shorter from Hawkins Bar. Both ways are via forest service roads that are "fair". There are 3 sites, each with a picnic table and fire ring. There is one vault toilet that was stocked with 'the papers'. There is NO trash service or cans and NO POTABLE WATER. There is a tiny creek running nearby if needed. There is MAYBE one (1) bar of Verizon service, but it is extremely unreliable. I came here to see the Perseids Meteor Shower, on a Sunday night/Monday, and did not see a soul.

Siteend of 07N04P...there are no 'numbered camps'
