Olympic National Forest

From the Littleton Horse Camp and Mt. Muller Trailhead, explore over 25 miles of trail from two different trail systems, including Mt. Muller, Snider Ridge, and Olympic Discovery trails. One section has several pole corals with walk-in tent sites scattered around them. Another area has large back-in and a pull-through sites with hitching rails. Some walk-in tent sites have fire rings and none have grilles. Most campsites enjoy ample shade.

No potable water for human consumption. From spring through fall the Backcountry Horsemen provide a non-potable water system that supplies water for stock use only.

Note: Vehicle parking spur sites are reserved for stock use until 6:00 pm. Walk-in sites are first come, first serve for all users.

Special thanks to Backcountry Horsemen volunteers and Clallam County for making this site possible.

Fees

Camping: $10/Night
