Gifford Pinchot National Forest Trout Lake Creek Campground

Small scenic lower elevation campground. Some sites are next to the creek. Nearby Sleeping Beauty trail (4 miles away).

Stayed here one Saturday night. Got there around 5 pm and while there were still several sites available none were by the creek. Ended up at one of the more secluded ones that matches most Forest drive in campsites. Has a Picnic table, fire pit and a place to park 2 cars. Bathrooms were spaced every comes of sights and were well maintained. At a lower attitude than most sites in the area and less likely to be rained on. It is a good over night for the Sleeping Beauty Hike.

This is one of those great USFS campgrounds in the Gifford Pinchot. It's small, maybe a dozen sites, and about half of those sites are on a delightful little creek.

While there's plenty of space between most sites, there's not a ton of vegetation between them, so you're definitely going to see your neighbors. Though, on a Saturday in July, this campground was only about half full. That half was, of course, the creekside half.
