This hike-in campsite along the Superior Hiking Trail requires backpackers to carry gear to reach the established tent pads and fire ring. The US Forest Service maintains basic facilities including toilets, and campfires are permitted with pets welcome. Hikers access the site after passing through previously logged hillsides that offer views toward Lake Superior and surrounding peaks.
The campsite sits slightly uphill from Durfee Creek, requiring a short walk to reach water for filtering. Tent pads spread across the area with a standard fire pit, though seating becomes limited when the group site fills. One reviewer noted the site functions well but lacks immediate water access and scenic views from camp itself. Nearby Woods Creek Camping provides another trail option for hikers continuing their Superior Hiking Trail journey.
