What the agency tells you

Rule

This campground is for visitors with stock.  Campers without stock should camp at Brown Creek Campground. Please be aware that recreating near and in horse campgrounds can provide a different experience than when camping in a non-stock campground. Horse camps are designed to include more for parking and hitching/corralling stock reducing areas for other activities. The presence of stock in the camp can also create different noises and smells than at a non-stock campground.

Rule

Maximum stay is 14 days.

Rule

No potable water available on site.

Every site here is reservable, and the record lists none held back for anyone who drives up.

No availability snapshot inside the last 36 hours, so this page draws nothing rather than ageing a reading into fiction.

We read recreation.gov once an hour, at 40 minutes past, and write the first time a site in your window is free for the nights you asked for.

Scanners that check every few minutes exist, and most of them charge. This one is free, it reads the same calendar, and it won’t always be first.

Free forever, no booking kickbacks.

Who keeps the booking fee

The agency’s own policy text says the reservation fee and the cancellation processing fee are “retained by the reservation service contractor”, and that a campground concessionaire will decline to refund them because “they did not receive these fees”. Recreation.gov is run under contract by Booz Allen Hamilton. What share of your booking fee the contractor keeps isn’t published in any federal dataset we can read, so we print no number for it.

Where it is

Getting there

From US Highway 101 turn west onto the Skokomish Valley Road (6 miles north of Shelton and 7 miles south of Hoodsport). Drive west on the Skokomish Valley Road from the George Adams State Fish Hatchery for about 5 miles to FS Road #23.  Turn right onto FS Road #23 and drive 9.0 miles to FS Road #2353.  Turn right onto FS #2353 and drive approximately ¾ mile to the South Fork Skokomish River Bridge.  Cross the bridge and make a sharp left turn onto FS Road #2353.  LeBar Horse Camp is located 1/2 mile beyond this point on the right of the road.

The agency publishes this point for 6 campgrounds; it’s likely a district office, not the campground. Use the agency’s own page for directions.

How we know

every fact on this page, and where it came from
Right now: U.S. Forest Service publishes no season and no closure for this campground, and it takes no bookings we can read. That’s a gap in the record and not a locked gate: the number below is the only way to be sure.
Cell signal: the Forest Service’s own campground description, read as text by CAMPANAC. None of this is a measurement. It’s what the land manager published about the place, and phones, carriers and weather all disagree with each other; treat it as a warning, not a promise.
Nearest place of any size: Amanda Park, WA, 22 mi NE (a census designated place). Straight line.
