Lower Spread Creek Spur A & B

FS 30290A and 30290B are short spur roads that parallel Lower Spread Creek Road, providing access to designated campsites 7, 8, and 9. These spurs begin at the west end and progress eastward, with varying site types and road conditions along the way.

Campsite 7 sits at the western edge of the spur and overlooks the Spread Creek drainage. It’s a spacious, level site, large enough to accommodate RVs and trailers, with excellent views and room to spread out.

As the road continues east, it narrows and becomes increasingly rough, with several dips and exposed rocks up to 9 inches tall. While trailers can technically reach Campsites 8 and 9, maneuvering space is limited, and turning around may be difficult if the sites are already occupied by other large vehicles.

Campsite 8 is a wide, flat clearing near the treeline, featuring four to five fire rings and ample room for multiple camping parties. It offers a semi-shaded, open layout suitable for groups.

Campsite 9 is tucked into a cove at the mouth of the canyon, directly overlooking Spread Creek. This site is very large and open, with a dirt base that can comfortably host several parties or larger groups. Its seclusion and size make it a highly desirable site in the area.

Important Camping Notes:

• Camping in this area is restricted to designated sites only.
• A 5-day maximum stay limit is in effect from May 1st through Labor Day, and a 14-day limit the rest of the year.
• Bears are common in the area; thus, all food and attractants must be stored in bear-resistant containers or hard-sided vehicles.
• Some campsites offer on-site bear boxes, but not all campsites do.
