Bear Creek 1 Access is a free dispersed camping area managed by Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife, located near Winthrop on Bear Creek Road with multiple spacious sites nestled in ponderosa pine and Douglas-fir forest.

The site features pit toilets, good cell service (particularly Verizon and T-Mobile), and allows walk-in access only with no motorized vehicles; note that the final 0. 8 miles of road is rough with potholes, and a Discover Pass is required.

The peaceful setting offers creek access and proximity to hiking trails, though the access road can be challenging for larger RVs.
