Located along Tanuem Creek near the site of a former CCC camp. The picnic shelter was built by the CCC. Ponderosa Pine and Douglas Fir shade the area. Campground is walk in only in June. Once snow melt ends and water levels in Taneum Creek slow to summer lows, access into the campground requires driving through Taneum Creek on a cement ford.
