Five uniquely beautiful campsites situated 20 feet above the creek. Says “walk-in” camping, but the parking area is a literal stone’s-throw away. Enough room to park & turn around w/our 19’ Airstream.We came in early September at night through a smoke & wind storm...ended up parking just outside the entrance to the campground for free. There was tons of room (more than just a pull-out), probably 20 cars could park there.T Mobile cell service was about 2 bars - good enough to send emails.

Super beautiful place, really nice by the creek with some nice trails to explore BUT — there was really sus people coming and going all night, two people who seemed to be living there, people definitely using drugs /selling drugs from the grounds. Wouldn’t recommend it especially for kids/ women alone. Sad because it’s such a beautiful place - but listen to the reviews that say it’s overrun with drug users. our neighbors were nice, but i think we’re obviously on drugs. we’re outside driving around all night and doing varies things such as cutting wood, sharpening knives, all sorts of noisy stuff at 2 AM.

Beautiful campground. Very quiet and private, and clean, but from what I could tell there are only four campsites and you arent allowed to save or make reservations.

Beautiful greenery and serene atmosphere. Couldnt find the trailhead, but still had a great time.

Camped here for 4th july. Beautiful area, no gnats, great campsite.Its amazing sitting next to a fire pit, cooking lunch, watching bald eagles pass by on their way down river to hunt in the shallows.

REALLY VERY Nice Here!!Very little 2 *NO road noise coming from hwy 30!! ( YAAY! )This campground is easily accessible & camp parking area well defined.Tents have been set up in camping areas and families were having picnics when I arrived.[ Friday, July 24th 2020-5 PM.*64 cloudy-no wind ]Main Road has some more grating going on up ahead & it is still covered with sharp, fistsized rocks 2 avoid along the road. Slow driving thru 4 optimal safety 4 sedans.The road splits in two with a huge Grater machine parked on the right hand side.The road split is not well defined on the right and is barely car sized in width, making things very claustrophobic and impassable 4 me.I decided not 2 travel any further up to the left, as the main dirt road had even more large, sharp rocks on it. I did not want 2 ruin & flatten my tires. Dena Vu!!Thankfully, The split area in the road is large enough 4 turn around(whew!! The ditches here are deep)Weather 4 road conditions:Main Road is dry right now but I think it could get very sloggy and slippery (clay/ashy mud type dirt road )Very Tricky driving on when wet or soaked up with lots of rain and can get bogged down very quickly.Big knobby tires can dig up the road pretty deep in this type of earth when its wet- burying axles (FYI)But the Forest itself here is extremely beautiful.Camping/RecreatingFolks are doing a wonderful job keeping the area clean and free of trash & debris.Signs everywhere that stateLEAVE NO TRACE.Seems people are doing so & minding about cleaning up after themselves.Thankyou so very much!!Lots of Shade here and a beautiful Creek is flowing here also.Full, STRONG Internet access on my Sprint Cell Phone GALAXY NOTE 8. (YIPPEE!!) A RARITY along these coast roads sometimes.Otherwise, its VERY QUIET & PEACEFUL-THANKYOU!!Today is only a first time exploration 4 me & unsure about the area otherwise.No Gnats or Mosquitos or Flies here !! ThankYou!!VERY CLEAN, BEAUTIFUL and peaceful AREA!!

Its Thick, Mature Forest & Plenty of Shade & this campground is close enough 2 the coastline where the air is much cooler than I first expected.This area is in a major heatwave & the valley area is over *100, while this particular wooded area remained in the *60s.Big difference in temperatures compared to SeaQuest up near Spirit Lake are about *85 and *95.Its pretty dry in here and the passing cars & trucks kick up a lot of the dust & ashe in the road.There is enough shade cover away from the (brutal) suns heat, however.Someone has dumped fish gutting trash up the road here. There are about twenty-thirty fish heads and carcasses from their fish cleaning activities and the bodies and fish carcasses are reeking & rotting and smell very bad.This all has happened within the past 24 hours, as I was up here checking out the area for the very first time only yesterday and the road was clean, so this obvious careless person throwing out fish-guts and fish-carcass dump along the road up here, is only recent and the sight and stench really detracts from the overall beauty of this area.As well as I could not help but notice the people who are shouting, yelling and screaming at their dogs and kids at the tops of their lungs for all to hear.This ruckus caused me to move away from them & their ugly yelling noise very quickly as well.Ive been a traveller & explorer of the Pacific Northwest over 10 years-From Mexico Borders in California to Canada.I only report about what I see and experience to this medium called MAPQUEST.Overall, this area makes a pretty nice place to shelter for the day from the hot summer sun. Sun is deadly brutal up here in the summer months and this area is a true blessing and quite a find !!There is one inground ( unisex ) toilet privy thats fairly clean.At least there is no huge-line-2-the-toilet nor the usual toilet stampede at all hours of the day consisting of women all rushing to get in there first or standing in a line outside around here-( so far, anyway )I have never witnessed such activities at any privy or portapotty.Only at the regular public flush toilets up here with running water & sinks.Also, there is pretty good internet signal capacity *right here* in the forest, (which is a very welcome suprise!!)Thankyou to whomever did the install for the INTERNET SIGNAL!!

Clean and quiet . The way its should always be.

Nice spot but camping is closed due to Covid

Awesome place to camp and fishing right below camp. Nothing better than this

Love this little peace of heaven. Spent my 50th birthday here.

4 camp spots that are far enough apart for some solitude. Just barely though. Beautiful area and a trail head right next to the camp grounds.

Online says its open to camp but you get there and it says no over night day use only

Simple camp ground with a few camp spots. Primitive camp with a vault toilet. Normally full in the summer when I drive by. First come

I love this area but its creepy at night to camp alone here. Usually I am fine, there was some creepers peeping around

There are four tent sites all relatively close to each other with enough parking. There is a restroom with no sink, but plenty of toilet paper. Gorgeous little spot by a little river with tall trees. Really enjoyed my stay here except for the loud neighbors. Cant wait to come back in the near future!

Such a beautiful place to hike, fish or forage!

Nothing special. Basic campsites next to a stream with some trails to walk on. Bare bones essentials, but I like that.

Walked the trail, nature is awesome. The sounds of the rapids so relaxing.

Its so beautiful here!

Do not camp here. Its a hangout for lowlifes, drug users and theres no ideal fishing grounds

We didnt camp here so our review may not be too descriptive. But we stopped here for a picnic. Fell in love with the creek! But the prices and rules we read were insane! I wouldnt reccommend camping here but the site itself is beautiful!

Camping is sweet

Nice campground, cool creek but creepy cuz its out in the middle of nowhere

Pretty good hiking trail right off hwy 30

Hidden gem! And so peaceful!

Excellent river access and fishing. Get here early, they only have 5 sites.

Best time ever

Im very impressed with gnat Creek campground its a good place for camping

Simple walk-in campground with 5 sites near a creek with a pit toilet just off Hwy 30.

Small campground off highway 30.

Used to come here every year but its gone down hill. homeless camper in their cars using drugs and they removed their garbage dumpster. Bathrooms are a diaster people just go floors. no dirt bikes or quads but the cars fly up and down the campsite road all night.

You definitely get better than what you pay for. Came in the winter and it was empty. With only three spots, I imagine it fills up quick in the summertime.

Great location with 4 1/2 campsites, the camp ground is close to the highway which can get a little noisy at times but the view of the woods and hikes around the surrounding area is gorgeous. The 1/2 campsite is a social campsite someone or someones made over time, itll suit your needs and lull you to sleep with the creek nearby however a trail goes right thru the site so be warned. All in all a great find and cheap place to stay at for a night or two

A great quiet place to bring the family

Stopped in on a cycle tour in 2015. There were three spots (one out of commission) all full, and no water. If a kindly old couple hadnt taken pity on us we would have been hooped.

This is the camping equivalent of renting a room in a hole-in a wall hotel. But with a very good scenery and cheap $5.00 per night rate. Be careful - this campground only has 3 camps!

Peaceful

Excellent camping nice privacy theres only a few camp spots up front privimitive campsites are off the sideroads if u keep driving past those

Super pretty and very peaceful even more so with the small brook that cuts through it

Not well marked and only has 4 camp spots we were like a mile or so past all the spaces when turned around cuz it seemed like we were going further and further into the woods with no other signs and the bathroom is a drop toilet the big hole in the ground

Outdoor toilet spaces near Creek not sure how many though

Great Trail....the hike is great allow some time to take it all in.... 5 hrs to complete the moderate difficulty trail....

We didnt stay because it was full. 6 small spots off the road a bit. Super cute

Too many gnats LOL

Only has 4 camp sites and the bathroom smells like someone peed all over the floor. But pretty scenery.

Love this place its beautiful

Nice, well-kept little campground with lots of trails for hiking and biking.

Its a parking lot. Was quite though.

Perfect little campsite

Gnat Creek is a forest wonderland.

Drove hundreds of miles just to find it full and the very few sites crammed together. Stupid.

Love it

Theres only a bathroom and a fire pit, but falling asleep with the sound of rushing water coming from the river was amazing.

Love it here

Amazing
