Description
iOverlander cannot verify if wild camping is permitted at this location. It is your responsibility to verify local laws or obtain consent before staying the night.
Trailhead with gravel parking lot. Stayed overnight here in our van with one other car. Good place to sleep for a night or two. Limited At&t cell signal, good Verizon signal. Lots of road noise. On the way to the trailhead, there are all kind of pull-offs for cars and vans and plenty of places to pitch a tent too.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
Latest Check-Ins
Stayed for 2 nights in our 24’ rv with no issues. Quite a few people were here throughout the days to hike but also to just stop and use the bathroom. Had to use a couple blocks to get level but it wasn’t bad. The road coming in has a lot of potholes but we were able to manage
follow our adventures as we travel the us in our rv with 3 cats!

Tinkham road (the road you use to get to the trailhead) has at least a half dozen places to park a vehicle (of various lengths). Right now there are people tucked in at least eight different spots plus the trailhead…. For a gravel Road it is fairly busy during the day but I’m guessing it’s quiet at night. BTW, the gravel road is in great shape… plus three bars of t-mobile!
Report Check-InWe stayed in our 30 foot Motorhome here, slightly bumpy short access road but plenty of room in the loop for us to park on the side and still heaps of room for others to get past. A few other cars and vans here, but everyone kept to themselves. Tbh one of the best little spots we have stayed in a while! Went for a little walk up the trail head the next morning, it was lovely. Can hear noise from the Highway, but if you use your imagination it could be a river it’s far enough away, more of a whoosh.
Report Check-Instayed here two nights with our travel trailer, road is a bit rough getting there but nothing major. Few other cars and RVs stayed as well.
Report Check-InEverything is said on the comments below, good spot, you can hear the traffic from the motorway. Good service cell with t-mobile.

nice big trailhead lot, pretty flat. We stayed one night in our 5 window akoolie and didn't see a single other person/car! Beautiful forest, great cell service, and clean bathrooms!
Report Check-InGravel trailhead parking. Good AT&T service. One other car. The bathrooms and trash were still closed for the winter. Pretty good!
Report Check-InPit toilet and trash now closed for the winter. 1 or 2 other cars in lot overnight but parked in a way that we don’t see each other at all. As advertised, got a good night’s sleep.
Report Check-InNice large parking area. Decent ATT&T cell service. Even though it’s off the highway a bit, there is quite a bit of road noise. We also had a helicopter circle above us a couple of times between midnight and 1 am. It became very busy with early morning hikers around 6 am. Being that it is a trailhead, that is to be expected. Overall, beautiful spot.
Report Check-InStayed here until I had to chance a rat of my car (I think I saw it jump out). Left at 1 am. Great ATT
Report Check-Instill a large gravel parking area. We were the only vehicle there. There is a pit toilet and garbage can but was closed due to covid. Full AT&T and Verizon. Yes there is a lot of road noise, but outside the van. Could not hear a peep inside. Nice tucked away spot close to I-90. I'd say four stars but garbage and bathroom availability would have been a fifth star.
