Cullite Cove
Cullite Cove is a unique but very small campsite nestled between towering sandstone cliffs with only room for a handful of tents.
Access by walking down the creek bed from the south side cable car tower as the trail has been washed out. Cullite is best avoided during heavy rains as the water level in the creek can rise, cutting you off from the main trail.
The beach is made up of large round rocks and gravel not suitable for tenting so the limited forest spots fill up fast. If you do arrive late and there is no space left, it may be possible to camp on the gravel bar across the creek (grey area), but this is a very dangerous spot if rain is in the forecast as the creek can flash-flood quickly.
