USFS website states that the Herman Creek campground (also Eagle Creek) were scheduled to close today (Oct 31). Anyone know if they locked the gate today down at Frontage Road this afternoon? Hoping they leave it open thru the weekend.
Thanks

When I was driving home on the freeway about 2:00 I happened to glance over there and I noticed the gate was still open. Maybe they closed it at dusk, though.

I haven't checked it out myself, but the old Lowe guides describe a trail that switchbacks up from the west end of the work center (large CCC building west of the campground gate) that joins in just up the trail from the campground trailhead. If it's still there, it would be a pleasant aesthetic alternative to walking up the campground road.

Thanks Cheryl and Tom
I hiked up the Herman Creek Trail this afternoon, and the gate at Frontage Road was open. No problem parking at the TH, and the campground looked open too. Thanks USFS
