Patrick Creek Campground and adjacent day use area have special charm, with rock walls, steps, and restrooms, and sunken campfire circle built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps. The campground is nestled among tall Douglas-fir trees at the confluence of Patrick Creek and the Middle Fork of Smith River. The campsites are situated on a flat about 30 feet above the river and Highway 199 borders the north side. The Patrick Creek Lodge is directly across the road.
