A westerly facing private forest directly connecting to Mt. Spokane State Park land, 10.5 miles to Mt. Spokane Ski and Snowboard Park, yet only 20 minutes into the city. Smell the pines in the morning and enjoy the privacy of Sunset Forest. Seasonal creek and swimming holes will feel magical, and an ancient apple tree along with teepee poles from long past Indian encampments as well as a story about a pickaxe made in Mexico found on the property will fill your hearts with excitement, endless trails into Mt. Spokane wilderness lead out from Sunset Forest. With debts mounting trying to keep Sunset Forest from being logged is not easy, in fact, camping is our last effort to preserve this private forest.

I want to say ahead of the time that the family that owns this property is very nice and their kids played with ours for a while and that was great... However, that was about the only good part about it. On arrival we were escorted into the camp site area which is pretty much like driving you car straight into the woods. There is no actual road or trail. You are just driving down into the forest. I drive a Honda Pilot which is thankfully 4x4. There is NO way a non 4x4 would make this and at some points i thought i might get stuck trying to reverse and do 50 point turn to try and turn back around since there was no way i could reverse back out. I also scratched the car on the many brambles you are forced to break through. There were a few camp spots available, however none of them are flat, so we ended up sliding down the tent in the night. Then there are the ticks. Oh SO many. We spent the whole time we were there pulling ticks off the dog and the rest of us. We were litterally sitting targets and someone had one at least every 15 minutes. I had long pants tucked into socks and long sleeves and a hat and on arrival at home I still managed to have to inside my shirt. I would not recommend to anyone that is not completely at home with ALL nature. We have bug spray with DEET, and some of the picaridin and neither was working. We really wanted to like it. But we were packed up and home by 7am this morning.
