Primary destinations are Third Beach, Scott's Creek, Toleak Point, and Mosquito Creek. These camp areas can be full or very busy in summer.
Toilet Facilities: Pit toilets are available at Third Beach, Scott's Creek, Toleak Point, and Mosquito Creek. In other areas bury waste 6-8" deep and 200 feet from campsites and water sources.
Water Sources: Most coastal water sources have a tea-stained appearance. The light tan color originates from tannin leached from leaves. Cryptosporidium and giardia exist in coastal lakes, streams, and rivers. Always filter or boil water. Iodine is ineffective against cryptosporidium.
Very busy! I counted about 70 hikers in four days. Lots of large groups, 10-16 people in some groups.
Stayed there one night and it was a wonderful cozy spot for our group of 8. It’s not a very large campground, and being inside the forest (as opposed to being on the beach), you can’t quite spread out too wide.
That night, there was a work crew occupying most of the campground, but luckily we found a big enough space for our 4 tents. There was also a nice spot with 3 logs that was perfect for a largish campfire, not to mention the sunset viewpoint at the edge of the campground.
It’s also conveniently close to the creek, so you don’t have to go to far to fill up, and a lovely half-open outhouse, that makes going in the forest fairly pleasant. Almost as if you’re doing it outdoors, among trees and ferns.
Nice camp with a good source of fresh water. Camps are positioned on the north side of the creek and the south side of the creek.
