Obsidian Flat is an excellent group campground, ideal for gatherings. It features vault toilets but lacks running and potable water. It's advisable to bring your own toilet paper as supplies may be limited.

Very Peaceful and private campground.
Dirt road is not too difficult. I will definitely come back!! I hope this site stays open so we can return.

Great site, lots of space, good toilets, I really like how the locked gate kept the side by sides from driving up to the camp.

We never found the group camping site. Sign pointed to group camping site at a road needing 4 wheel drive and we only had a camper van. Highly recommend finding camp before dark. If I don't see the road sign for Dead man creek rd I would not have believed we were in the right place.

Great group site with 2 bear cabinets, bar height meal prep table, 4 picnic tables, and 2 toilets. Plenty of room at this site as it will easily hold 50 campers in tents. Little hard to find. When you pull off Deadman Creak Rd go straight don't take any left or right turns and there is a sign that says dead end and that's where you are going. Gate code comes in reservation confirmation. You're pretty isolated and some cell service works. Activities are exploring, hiking, and biking. Deadman Creak has trout but the weird creek right by the site disappears into the ground even with a good flow.
