Gifford Pinchot National Forest dispersed

Accessible via forest roads, this dispersed camping area in Gifford Pinchot National Forest provides drive-in access and ADA accommodations. Campers can reach the Quartz Creek trail directly from their sites, making it convenient for hikers exploring the area's trail system. The site lacks facilities, so visitors need to bring water and plan for primitive conditions.

August evenings bring heavy biting insect activity, according to camper reports. Camping restrictions apply to one side of the road, limiting available space. For those needing more developed amenities, Lewis River Campground sits nearby with additional facilities and services.
