About Cat Creek Campground

Cat Creek Campground sits in a wooded pocket where Cat Creek meets the Cispus River, offering five first-come, first-served sites popular with off-highway vehicle riders. The rustic setup draws campers looking for trail access and creek proximity without developed amenities. Payment is handled through Recreation.gov's Scan and Pay, though cell service can be spotty enough that downloading the app beforehand is smart.

Rustic campground offering 5 first-come, first-served campsites in a wooded setting. The site is small and popular with OHV users accessing nearby multi-use trails.

Natural Features and SceneryTall timber creates a canopy over the campground, filtering sunlight and providing shade between sites. Cat Creek and the nearby Cispus River add a steady background soundtrack. The surrounding forest opens onto multi-use trails used heavily by OHVs. It's a functional mix of wooded cover and trail access rather than a scenic showpiece.
