Absolutely fantastic place very remote, quiet, and pleasant. right on wolf creek. However overrun by cows and cow feces. You do have to share the area with cows from the local Ranch. Which means if you bring a dog it has to be on a leash all the time. Only 7 decent spots for camping. Hiking is fantastic and views our stunning. No ATV/UTV/ or like. No bicycles either. Small fish in the creek but they are there. Lots of horses camp here.

One of my favorite places to camp for free and also have access to pit toilets. The Wolf Creek trailhead connects to the Pacific Crest Trail and various other hiking/pack trails. The campground is a popular staging/camping area for equestrians, backpackers and day hikers. The big meadow to the North is also a beautiful place to spend some time by the Creek.

Primitive Forest Service campground! No fee, water, tables, and you must pack out your garbage. There are two pit toilets one modern and an old one. There are 6 to 7 sites here for tents , trailers, or small motor homes with good ground clearance, Wolf Creek Road off Highway 4 is a little steep and rough in some spots. Camps have rock fire rings, you must have a fire permit here for stoves, BBQ's, and campfires! The campground is at the end of the road nestled amongst pines bordering Wolf Creek. Peaceful and relaxing, with the music the creek plays 24-7! The bordering Carson Iceberg Wilderness has a trailhead next to the campground with beautiful trail to explore. Fishing's not the greatest here, but on hot days the water is very refreshing for a dip! With a little foot work there are some magnificent vistas to be had!

So many mosquitoes. Cow mines everywhere. The road is horrible. And dogs off leashes. And dirty outhouse. Just one of these is true. P.s. If you know you know.
