Gravel pull-offs line the Forest Service road through this free dispersed camping area in Olympic National Forest, giving campers a straightforward overnight stop near the Vance Creek trailhead. It stays quiet through the night, though occasional vehicle traffic on the road is a known factor, and at least one reviewer noted trash left by previous campers. Cell service is available. Campers planning routes through the area can also browse dispersed camping around Olympic National Forest for additional options. RVs up to 40 feet can access the site, and spots further down the road tend to be more remote.
