Last Chance Campground

We come to this campground specifically for the trails in the area. I like walking the trail from this end to Goose Creek Falls as opposed to the trail up by Brundage. This way isn't as steep.. You have to cross the creek several times, so it's usually easier in late summer or early fall.. As always, leave it better than you found it, and enjoy 😉.

We enjoyed our stay here in a small camping trailer. It is quiet, 2+ miles off the highway on a gravel road. The camp host was present and friendly; the concrete vault toilets were newer and clean. There are 2…6 sites, $10/night, well spaced around with plenty of shade as in late June it was warm, 84F. There is potable water here. The wild flowers were in bloom and the mosquitoes were not a problem. Goose Creek was refreshing to wash the trail dust off. Camp is 12 miles from city life and supplies. We would camp here again. Campground will be closed July 7, 2024 for the season due to bridge construction on the highway.

Beautiful campground with nicely kept vault toilets. Pretty chilly for tent camping the end of September/first part of October, but we made it through! Campground was almost deserted which made it super quiet, almost eerily so at times ha. We saw lots of lovely fall foliage. And we found striped woolly bear caterpillars, and little grey squirrels and chipmunks that kept up the chattering and braving our campsite. We also picked up a ton of those little round, disc shaped prickly stickers from bushes on our campsite, but thankfully they were fairly easy to pick off. Our family hiked to Goose Creek Falls from the trailhead at the end of the campground. We took our 9 year old, 5 year old and little dog. It took about 1.75 hrs on the way. It only took about 1 hr back as it was downhill. This was with lots of stops and going at what felt like a snail's pace sometimes, and pausing to let other groups pass us. The waterfall itself was a little lackluster, but we knew this is the fall, so the water isn't as high as earlier in the year. Still lovely and the whole camping trip was so much fun!

Very nice campground. Nice and quiet. No ATV or side-by-sides. The camp host was nowhere to be seen all week. His 1960's uhaul truck was there, but no one cleaned or refilled the toilet paper. There are a couple of sites with what appears to be people living there, and not paying.

The restrooms are mostly new and are well-maintained. The popular trailhead means there is a lot of traffic through the campground and especially a lot of foot traffic. Some of the camp sites are pretty run-down with tables and fire pits badly in need of replacement. The 2.8 mile road in is frequently rough and has narrow spots and steep drop-offs that can be daunting, even frightening, for RVs.
