About Grider Creek Campground
For hikers heading north on the Pacific Crest Trail the Grider Creek Campground is the first glimpse of civilization in over 40 miles. Driving from Seiad is a little over 6 miles but this campground, deep in the forest, makes you feel like you are a million miles from anywhere. The dense forest along Grider Creek provides 10 secluded campsites for tents, small RV's and trailers. There are tables, fire rings and vault restrooms but no corral. Parking is also available for Day Use and horse trailers.
