Bark Shanty Campground is a first-come, first-served hike-in campsite located 2. 6 miles along the well-maintained Lower Big Quilcene Trail, featuring multiple level tent sites directly on the Big Quilcene River with river water access (filter required).

The campsite offers no on-site restroom facilities (only at trailhead), no phone service, and limited amenities, but provides a peaceful riverside camping experience with beautiful old-growth forest and moss-lined landscapes; arrive early as the trailhead parking lot fills quickly on weekends.
