Misery Spring Campground offers hunting and hiking recreational opportunities. Please [**Leave-No-Trace**](http://lnt.org/learn/7-principles).
From Pomeroy, Washington (90 minutes): Starting at Main Street, take 15th Street headed south from State Highway 12. Follow this street out of town and continue for 15 miles to the National Forest boundary. At the forest boundary a cattle guard is crossed and the road will turn to gravel (Forest Road 40). Continue south on Forest Road 40 for 15 miles to the Misery intersection (there is a sign 50 feet before the intersection). Turn right (westerly direction) on forest road 4030. Follow Forest Road 4030 and turn left onto 4030-20 and follow to Misery Spring Campground.
Not much shade, a lot of down trees and loads of horse flys went dispersed camping instead
Beautiful scenery, picnic tables fire pits free forest service campground, many others nearby. 5,500 ft elevation
Not a bad little spot. Had pros and cons.
Pros: beautiful views, peaceful, quiet.
Cons: extremely hot. Trees do not block sun well do to many forest fires last couple years. No water or stream despite the name.
We really enjoy Misery Springs Campground. We have stayed there twice and hope to again.
