Peaceful Night Spot

Gravel road is well maintained, made it here in a prius easily. Less of established camping and more dispersed, but sites are clear and many have rock fire rings. Right on the river, super chill, nobody drove by our site the entire night on a weeknight in July.

Nice place off route 100 to stay a night

We were happy to find some free dispersed camping off route 100 on our fall road trip. This site was great bc we had it all to ourselves, it would feel crowded and not too private if anyone else joined. Easy to get into for an xterra but if you have an rv I don’t think there is room for you. Make sure you know your directions ahead of time bc no service. Loved camping next to the water and hearing the river as we slept. There are fire rings. No bugs. If you are the only ones there I’d stay here, if not just drive up the road to the next site bc it is much larger and spaced out just not on the river and it is great too bc of the views and vibrant fall colors

An awesome site

This is one of several sites found on Forestry Rd 55. The site we found is visible from the road but is best accessible with a 4x4 as it has a rocky entrance and can be muddy during heavy rains or spring thaw. We loved being on Clark Brook. The sites and sounds were soothing.
