About this campground

Located at the East Creek Campground the trail is open, but please be aware of the danger of falling trees burnt during the Blue Fire in 2001.  Another access trail, heading to the north-east from East Creek Campground takes one to the Summit Trail out of Patterson Campground. East Creek Campground is best used by our equestrian campers.  Day use and hikers camping for some period of time would best be served by Patterson Campground about 1/4 mile to the east.
