Trapper Creek Dispersed Camping

So the actual trailhead is closed so access to the pit toilet and turn around parking is not accessible. The barricades can be removed to allow for turning around if your rig is too big provided you put them back. Be advised there are fines associated with access so read the signage and proceeds at your own risk.

Coming up to the trailhead reveals at least 3 spots that are fairly large for RVs and some spots for tent camping next to the creek.

There is a large one on the right that is right before the bridge. 20’ further down is parking and a path down to a treed, flat area for tent camping.

Across the bridge is the private horse park, Camp Howe, with a spot large enough for a van or truck camper across the road from its entrance.

50’ up is the trailhead. The road tees off to the left and on that corner is a nice spot that is big enough for at least 30’er if you unhook after.

The road to the left is closed 100’ down.

We had TMobile/Sprint BOOSTED with around 1.2Mbps down and .21 up. Good enough to write and submit the review.

The place is peaceful and quiet. This forest, Gifford Pinchot, is so freakin beautiful. And this area does not disappoint!

Please take a bag of garage when you leave! Leave it better than you found it.

**Went out there on 12-7-20 for a looks see. It is closed due to Big Hollow Fire. Several trails and Forest Roads closed as well.

Big Hollow Fire

Right off Wind River Road at the edge of the Trapper Creek Wilderness. The area is about 13 miles north of Carson WA. There are several dispersed campsites just before the Trapper Creek Trailhead.
