Brad and I had stopped at Cavitt Creek Recreation Area and viewed the waterfalls once before, but had no photographs.
I stopped on the way to Shadow Falls, walked around a bit - what I did can't be called hiking - the views
are nice. I ate my lunch in the picnic area, viewed and photographed the
waterfall. It was a nice recreation excursion.

Cavitt Creek Recreation Area offers a nice, small, campground on the banks of Cavitt Creek. The road is curvy. I
wondered how easy or difficult it would be to get in with one of the big rigs like my parents' have, but it's great for the smaller
RVs and camping tents. The area is beautiful; it's a temperate rain forest, after all. :) The well-maintained gravel road that leads
up into the Cascade Mountains to Shadow Waterfalls begins just upstream from Cavitt Creek Campground.

This campground, the campgrounds at Wolf Creek and Coolwater are the options for camping in this area, unless
one wants to camp up in the forest at Lake in the Woods or Hemlock mountain lakes. Both Cavitt Creek Waterfall and the trailhead
for Shadow Waterfall are accessed off Cavitt Creek Road. The trailheads for Yakso and Hemlock Waterfalls are accessed at Lake
in the Woods Campground. Grotto Waterfall is out in that area too, but with nothing of the proximity found in the hiking trails for
Yakso Waterfall, Hemlock Waterfall and a third I just found out about, located between both lakes. That's three hiking trails
to waterfalls within easy distance and either of the campgrounds at the mountain lakes. The campgrounds offer
running water, camping sites, picnicking tables and of course, the hiking trails. :)

Camping rates at the campground in Cavitt Creek Recreation Area are quite reasonable: $8.00 a night with a charge of $3.00 a
night for additional vehicle. Water is available. The restrooms are easily accessible. I did not try them in the campground,
but the restroom in the picnic area is clean and well maintained although it does not have flush toilets. The campground
boasts a live in host, so any concerns one might have can be easily addressed.
