Natural Features and SceneryDense forest surrounds the campground, where old-growth timber towers over a floor of ferns and moss. The Potlatch River flows alongside the sites, its movement audible from camp. Volcanic soils have fostered the thick evergreen canopy that defines this inland Pacific Northwest landscape. The river and forest create a heavily shaded environment year-round.
