Well, this was kind of an exploratory trip. We only ran the 311 trail, and then checked out the camp ground and cruised some of the service roads. We also drove out to the lake at the end of Hwy 165. It is really beautiful country with awesome views of Mount Rainier.
The camp ground is pretty nice. It is set in old growth timber, and there are vault toilets. There is also water via a hand pump. Not sure if it is potable or not. Probably not. It is a little bit dusty when dry, but overall a pretty nice place.
On the way out there were fire and police in the lot and they were prepping the the lot with water for life flight to land. Someone had a roll over on a trail and was getting flown out.
This is the best map I have seen of it. The guy who made it does it with a GPS. He also has other Washington trails. Here is his site:

Yes, the trails and service roads are all marked with signs. They are not marked for difficulty, but they are on this map:

You really should come up. Let's meet for a weekend sometime soon before this nice weather goes away. Better yet, if you can do a week day thing there would be fewer people there. We went on a Sunday and it was kind of busy. Let's do it!
