Williams River Campsites
There are 30 separate, rustic campsites located along Williams River Road, designated as Forest Roads 86 and 216. Many of these sites are close to the river, and are very popular with anglers. These campsites, as well as Tea Creek and Day Run Campgrounds, are the only places camping is permitted along Williams River. Toilets are closed in winter. Campsites are scattered along the Williams River Road, from the Three Forks area upstream to a point near the river's headwaters.
