Wildcat Creek Campground #2 Upper
Damage to West Wildcat Road does not allow safe vehicle access to the campgrounds. Wildcat 2 Campground is closed. Wildcat Road has sustained 4 slides in recent years (with the first slide happening in 2019). We appreciate your patience as we work to restore Wildcat Road.
