The creek is always a good place for wading. Several old apple trees are located near the parking area, remnants of the days when Bull Creek was a thriving town. The 1955 and 1964 floods caused a lot of damage to the area and the entire Bull Creek watershed was eventually acquired by the park. A rodeo grounds was located not too far west on Mattole Road. The Pioneer Cemetery and remnants of the old dance hall can be seen on the road into Cuneo Creek Group Horse Camp, located one mile west of Baxter Environmental Camp.
Environmental camping offers a more secluded camping experience.
It is quieter and wildlife is frequently seen in the area. Proper food storage will discourage wildlife from visiting your campsite in search of an easy meal. This is an especially good idea in black bear country. When not in use, food and scented items should be stored out of sight in your vehicle with the windows rolled up. Apples and blackberries may be picked for personal consumption when they are in season.
