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.

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. The road past Musician's camp has tight turns, large ruts and stream crossings that will prevent all but high clearance short rigs from passing.

This walk-in site is fairly level and in full sun. There is a parking space at the site. It is the best of nature and solitude.

There is no cellular connection in the Slate River Valley
