Appleton Creek Campsite is a free recreation site located north of Powell River, accessible via Wilde Road past Sliammon Lake. This primitive campground offers three tent sites set among old-growth Douglas fir near the creek. Basic amenities include picnic tables and toilets. The site serves as a trailhead for hiking in the surrounding forest and provides access to nearby waterfalls and a popular swimming hole. An interesting bridge crosses Appleton Creek at the location.
