Nestled in Tall Timber

Chatter creek bubbles with varied melodies throughout the camp ground. I stayed in site #7, the campsite was across a small bridge about 40 feet from my car. A beautiful huge site but had very little sunlight. I could see the stars from my tent at night. I spent time painting by the creek, very peaceful. 

I arrived on a Friday afternoon in October and was surprised at how little camping was available in Icicle Creek Canyon. All other campgrounds were full. Needless to say, I was very grateful to have a spot to camp, even with neighbor's who lack camping manners.

Very Nice

It’s a long gravel road to get there but a very nice campground. A few of the sites are a short walk over a the creek which help make them a little more private.

Group camping only

This is an incredibly beautiful area for hiking, scenic drives, water recreation, etc. There is also a nearby campground of the same name for individuals/small families. The group site was perfect for a work retreat. It is rustic and well maintained. I don’t know the minimum group size to rent, we had about 35 and it was perfect. Lovely immediate area to explore (forests and creeks), plus endless stuff a short drive away.

Access to water but not on the Creek.

Chatter Creek campground is past Eight Mile but not as far down Icicle Creek Road as Ida Creek so it's a nice spot to get away without spending half an hour on a gravel road.

This is a smaller campground with 12 sites and no advance reservations so arrive early if your heart is set on staying here. Otherwise there are several more campgrounds down the same road.

While you have great access to the Chatter Creek and across the forest road to Icicle Creek there aren't actually any waterfront sites.
