About Cathedral Pines Campground

[](https://www.flickr.com/photos/usfs-hmnf/albums/72157659836028984) The access road is gated to prohibit motorized access. Visitors to this campground are primarily river paddlers. To access the site from the road, visitors will need to walk .25 miles into the large, old-growth eastern white pine to find the campground. Trees offer a screen from the river, but still allow campers views of the river and wildlife. **[Brochure with map](http://go.usa.gov/x9h8F)**: This brochure is set to print on 11 x 17 paper, landscape (wide) orientation. To print on 8 1/2 x 11 paper set the print area to "shrink to printable area", this will make the text on the page smaller. **[Flickr Photo Album](http://www.flickr.com/photos/usfs-hmnf/albums/72157659836028984)**
