This area was called Boot's Bottoms growing up and the name stuck. There is a rock wall close to the campsite that was a old grist mill site. Plenty of wildlife, bird watching, wildflowers and creek walking. Some old ATV trails for hiking as well. Very remote and quite!

Deeper sections in creek present for swimming and cooling off in warmer months. Come enjoy the fall colors and leaves falling now! This is the only site on the property deep in our own property with one way in and out, so you will not be bothered by anyone or see anyone, unless it's me or my father. FWD is recommended if conditions are wet, otherwise 2WD is fine. There is no mud, but the hills and grass can cause traction issues with street tires. (I've had several vans stay without issues, just be aware the road is not paved). Box with several outdoor reading material and I.D. pamphlets present at site. Please ask any questions and I'll do my best to answer any concerns.

Bug Tussle Creek Bend

Big Tussle Creek was a very fun experience for my family this Easter Weekend. Even our 4 year old had a blast on the creek walks and swimming. Definitely will be back!

Matthew’s spot is awesome! Very private with plenty of room. The creek is amazing and the sound of the rolling water is great for sleeping. Matthew is a great host and we’ll definitely be back!

Bug Tussle Creek Bend

Gorgeous dispersed camping spot, with a large flat area easy to drive in. I took a perfect long creek walk with my dog, and didn’t see or hear anything but wildlife. I also love the huge open field nearby, where you can see a billion stars! Probably best to have an AWD/4WD vehicle for the steep gravel road, or at least a bit of clearance, and be sure to look at the directions ahead of time, but the host was very responsive to questions as well.

Fantastic primitive camp site

Bug Tussle Creek Bend

Fantastic primitive camp site. Secluded on the banks of Doresy Creek in a beautifully shaded woody area where the site is cleaned off and the trails were nicely mowed and well kept. Site has a fir pit and plenty of room for tents and vehicles. The property has abundance of wild life, flora and hiking and exploring opportunities. We had complete privacy the 3 days we stayed. We would definitely like to camp here again.

Bug Tussle Creek Bend

Matthew's camp site is the perfect place to get away from the noise and demands of everyday life. It is accessible by car and far enough away that we never even heard noise from the highway. The creek water is cool enough to beat the heat even while temps were high 90s. The kids played in the water, walked upstream, and chased minnows. We had a blast!
