Skookum Creek Campground
Skookum Creek Campground is a popular 9 tent-only site campground that provides a starting point for backcountry fishing, hiking, or equestrian use. The Erma Bell Lakes Trail starts here, and is a portal into the Three Sisters Wilderness. This trail is maintained to be accessible for wheelchair users, although it is very challenging.
