This campground is about three miles in from the start of the Salmon Creek Trailhead. Upon arriving, we found one bench and a lot of clear areas that would make for a good spot to stay at. However, there is not much more in the area, and unless you plan on making camp for a day or two and hanging out there, I would camp elsewhere. The total area of the campground isn't very large, and there isn't... This campground is about three miles in from the start of the Salmon Creek Trailhead. Upon arriving, we found one bench and a lot of clear areas that would make for a good spot to stay at. However, there is not much more in the area, and unless you plan on making camp for a day or two and hanging out there, I would camp elsewhere. The total area of the campground isn't very large, and there isn't anything easily available to explore nearby, unless you want to go further down the trail, which degrades as you go further along. It is however, ideal if you'd like to camp somewhere that feels remote. If you'd like to camp, I'd recommend going further north and exploring the Limekilm area, where there is a beach, hiking, and lots of camping space.

Do NOT choose the FIRST campground. My group set-up and had our site crashed by other hikers twice in a two night stay. Watch out for all of the POISON OAK! Beautiful area with lots of flowing rivers.
