Summit Creek Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Dispersed camping along Summit Creek puts campers directly in Gifford Pinchot National Forest, a drive-in site managed by the US Forest Service outside Packwood, Washington. No designated amenities are listed for this location. Nearby dispersed options include Forest Road 44 Dispersed — Gifford Pinchot NF to the west.

Isolation

After a couple miles of gravel incline... watch out for the wheel killers cuz they sneak up on you... found this spot deep in the woods SE of Rainier. River is almost too far below to hear. Two sites just before the bridge, and a slip big enough for a camper van just past. Spots on the way in as well.
