A great place to camp! We hiked here on August 9, 2022 using the Lower Big Quilcene Trail. Well worth the hike to get to this jem on the riverside.

Idyllic hike-in campsite. Beautiful area! Glad folks are considerate in their use as it was clean and peaceful. Lets keep it that way! This a first come, first served campsite with roughly 2.6 mile walk on well-maintained trail to access. Keep in mind, the only trail bathroom is at trailhead. You can keep hiking to Camp Jolley, which I observed less folk camping. There is no phone service and trailhead is in forest - basically be prepared. The river runs beside campsites. If you use water filter, you have ability to refill your water bottle. Rugged wheelchair should make it to Bark Shanty BUT beyond I would not. There are steep and narrow areas along with the skinny log bridges following Bark Shanty AND the trail was slightly overgrown in some areas. I saw only 8 folk after passing Bark Shanty. Getting to trailhead is through paved and gravel road. As of August 2022, it was sedan feasible. Also the brown sign pointing to Lower Big Quilcene River Trailhead was damaged. Be careful of your gps system too! Just like many trails, it can lead you astray to the trailhead. And in fire season check before you go 😉 Have fun!
