Current Conditions
For current conditions, please contact the local ranger station. Forest Service roads are not maintained for snow and ice.

At this 22 site campground, one can take a scenic stroll through an old-growth forest along the Breitenbush River. Most campsites offer sweeping views of the river. May through July, the rhododendrons put on a spectacular show blooming in various shades of pink.

Wading and fishing are popular activities in the Breitenbush River, and rainbow trout is the most common catch for anglers.
