Overview of Slate River Designated Dispersed Campsite #5

It is recommend that all vehicles greater than 35-40 ft. do not attempt to drive beyond Musician's Camp (approx 6 miles from Gothic Road) due to lack of turn around space, rough roads, and/or lack of sites with adequate parking for large vehicles.

Slate River Designated Campsites are first-come, first-served with a 14-day maximum stay and two-vehicle limit per campsite. Camp only in sites that have a post with a campsite number, metal fire ring, and parking spot.

Accessibility is not guaranteed, always scout ahead before driving down dirt roads. Learn more: Boondocking101

Overall Rating

The Slate River Valley offers breathtaking mountain and river views along with many different recreation options along its length. It is frequented in the summer by anglers, mountain bikers, hikers and nature lovers.

Slate Creek dispersed sites are accessed via a narrow gravel road past the O Be Joyful Campground. This road is a single lane at times with limited turn off, against a drop-off. There are on guardrails on this road. Please use caution when driving, especially during peak times.

This site is fairly level and in full sun. There is ample turn around at the site for a small rig. It is directly next to the river and you can hear the water all night long. I did remove stars due to the condition of the entry road. It is impassable for all but high clearance rigs. 4X4 will be needed during wet periods.

There is no cellular connection in the Slate River Valley
