Cool and Quiet

This is a quiet little campground.  It would make a good base camp for visiting Echo and Traverse Lakes.  Camps are spaced around one paved loop up the hill in the trees above the meadow.  There is one vault toilet and no water, electricity, or sewer connections.  There is plenty of deadwood nearby for gather for your campfire.

Gorgeous , quiet, remote

Late spring was a perfect time to spend a couple days in the mountain wilderness. Wildflowers we’re in bloom and temperatures were moderate during the day and a little cold at night. There is one clean vault toilet for the area, close enough to the campsites. Campsites are essentially a driveway with a picnic table, and suitable for small trailers or tents. Great hiking to the lush, broad meadows, which are fed by a creek cascading from the higher elevations. We let our dogs have the run of the place off leash. Getting there is a bit of a chore: about 20 miles of dirt track, but we’ll worth the effort.

Awesome Dispersed Camping Along West Eagle Creek

This area offers incredible dispersed camping opportunities alongside West Eagle Creek south of the West Eagle Meadows trailhead on NF-77 (aka Eagle Creek Rd). Just drive down the road and explore the many turnoffs to find one that suits your needs. Don’t forget to leave time for a day hike up to Echo Lake!
