Char Creek Forest Service Rd | Wild Camping

The pullout should be year-round accessible, access to the service road from it is not. This area is prone to sudden weather changes and heavy snowfall well into the spring. I was planning to hike the trail nearby but didn't have the gear to handle that much snow. See picture for where the road and hiking access should be (taken May 24). No cell reception.

Nice quiet little place down a forest road. The road down to the clearing by the sign is a bit bumpy and narrow but should be manageable for most vehicles. Might be big rig friendly to an extent. I saw a truck and trailer and a semi with a short trailer moving a backhoe through so apparently it's doable.
You can hear the creek from the clearing, a bit of highway noise. Not too much traffic overnight. If you want to follow the road deeper you can, although 4wd becomes a bit more recommended.
Unserviced pit toilet by the clearing/trailhead. Definitely recommend the short little loop hike nearby if you have time. Should take >= 1 hour and it's quite nice.

Great little forest road pull off. At the highway, pull out into the dirt lot. The road down is to the left of the dirt lot. The road down is a little bumpy and narrow, but our little RV did well when we went slowly. There is a trailhead for a short loop hike if you’d like to see some beautiful ferns and ‘forest bathe’ a bit. Super quiet. Lovely!

Nice open spot near a creek and walking trail.
