Two tent sites right on Crystal Creek at the west side of the park, with heavy shade and real privacy under fir, maple and pine. The steep unpaved entrance road rules out RVs, trailers and anything towed. One accessible vault toilet, bear-resistant lockers, fire pits. Bring your own water. Crystal Creek Falls and Whiskeytown Falls are the local hikes.
