Hikers accessing the Piney Ridge trailhead will find Peters Creek just off Forest Road 54 in the Washington and Jefferson National Forest. This dispersed site sits about 200-300 yards down a two-track dirt and gravel road, requiring campers to clear some small branches that indicate infrequent use. The flat, open area accommodates small RVs or vans, though visitors should expect no cell coverage with T-Mobile.

The site lacks an established fire pit but offers space to construct one where campfires are permitted. Hardwood and white pine forest surrounds the camping area. Access involves moderate grades on primarily gravel roads, with detailed directions starting from Hunt Club Road off Route 501, passing the Big Island Hunt Club before entering national forest land.
