Gifford Pinchot National Forest holds this free drive-in dispersed site along FR-604, where road noise is a real factor for tent campers since the site sits directly adjacent to the road. It has no developed amenities, but a short walk into the forest leads to a swimming hole and small waterfalls. Parking vehicles at the entrance helps reduce noise and limits drive-through traffic. Campers wanting a developed alternative can check Nine Mile Creek on Forest Road 056 nearby, or browse free camping near Gifford Pinchot National Forest for other no-cost options in the area.
