If someone else already has occupied Lake Creek,
you can camp at the Mushroom Camp. This is where
all the mushroom buyers set up their tents. From
Hwy.20 follow Jack Creek Road about 2 1/2 miles
to Forest Road #1217. Take this road about 3/4 mile
to the first left, which is Road #200. Within a 1/4 mile
you will start seeing the buyer camps(numbered sites).
There are smaller campsites all along the road.
