The Tea Creek Area (as it's called) is a calm, peaceful, remote place characterized by wild forest, good hiking trails, and stunning mountain views.
And tucked away in one corner of the Tea Creek Area is Tea Creek Campground.

It's located right where Tea Creek joins the Williams River.
The remote campground is the perfect place to pitch a tent or park a small camper.

People in the know return year after year, and describe the place as "peaceful," "clean," "beautiful," and "relaxing."
