About Campground: Morrison Creek

This site was burned over in the Cascade Creek Fire of 2012. Several primitive camp sites are available, some along Morrison Creek. The site serves as a trailhead to the [Shorthorn Trail 16](http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/giffordpinchot/recarea/?recid=31916) which enters [Mount Adams Wilderness](http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/giffordpinchot/recarea/?recid=79411) and is within 3 miles of the popular [South Climb 183 Trail](http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/giffordpinchot/recarea/?recid=31934) and route up Mt Adams. Road access is rough and not recommended for trailers or motor homes.
