This site worked well for out group, with a pretty private location, two picnic tables four trash containers and a pit toilet. However, it was not easy to find as the road to it off the highway is unmarked and hard to see. The entrance road is approximately .3 miles south of the Moose Creek Flats 13 site campground, and is on the east side of highway 191. This site served us well as a base for multiple hikes in the area.

Perfect spot for a family reunion. Close to everything, yet very secluded.
