Gifford Pinchot National Forest's Tillicum Campground sits in a densely forested setting along an interior dirt road that erodes noticeably each season, so low-clearance vehicles and larger rigs should approach with caution. The campground has no cell service; the nearest signal is roughly three miles out on the surrounding forest roads. RVs are limited to 18 feet, and electric hookups are available. The Squaw Butte trailhead sits at the campground's far end, giving hikers a direct start. Campers traveling with dogs will find this site accommodating, as pets are allowed throughout.
