Description

State Park

Free camping often comes with a beautiful hike or paddle, and when you get there it can be hit or miss if they are full since they are all first come first serve. Be prepared to have to continue on to the next area or return to your last point so you are not caught off guard or end up recking a wonderful experience for someone else. And remember to be mindful that much of the Superior Hiking Trail is on private land and they owner can remove it from the system if you are not respectful of this gift.

Spruce Creek Campsites are located on the Superior Hiking Trail on Spruce Creek. They can be reached by traveling north and then west approximately 5.8 miles from the SHT overnight parking lot on Hwy 61, or south and east 5.3 miles from the SHT overnight lot on the Caribou Trail/Cty Rd 4 near White Sky rock. If you have a drop-off vehicle, the campsite is only 3.5 miles east of the Caribou Trail.  Remoteness and wet slopes make advance planning and caution important.

Refreshing

This is such a great site! Perfect for groups and hammock campers. Lots of cypress and snuggled right up next to Spruce Creek for a great sleep. Flat tent pads, two fire pits and great spots to sit in the creek or large flat rocks to sun on. The latrine is a hike up but that's just because you're so fantastically close to this somewhat narrow but fast moving stream with a lovely moss rock wall on your other side. Definitely recommend!
