Great short hike to some nice secluded backcountry sites.

Almost everyone whom camps stays at Sea Camp and wheelbarrows in there stuff. However, this campground has a nice small number of sites that also is not too far of a hike from the dock: About three and a half miles from Sea Camp Dock, instead of less than a mile. Thankfully at this campground there are also restrooms, cold showers and water... Although, unlike at Sea Camp, it must be treated before drinking (boil, filter, UV, or chemical, etc...). Excellent tree coverage and a short walk to one of the most secluded beaches I’ve ever seen… Since there aren't any cash boxes in the backcountry sites you need to be prepared to hang your food and toiletries to avoid animal theft. Also plan ahead as you must backpack everything you will be using into Stafford and you also must pack it all out again, including your trash. There are(were) no trashcans, even in the restrooms.
