Tucked inside an old-growth Douglas-fir grove along Abbott Creek, the secluded layout includes picnic tables, a campfire ring, and a vault toilet down a short path. There is no drinking water or garbage service available. The nearby Woodruff Bridge area provides direct access to the 47-mile Upper Rogue River Trail, and a managed off-highway vehicle trail system with two play areas is located a short drive away.
