Does anyone know a location that is safe to park for 3 or 4 days while I hike and camp along Capsey Creek? It doesn't matter to me which end I start at as I'll have to loop back anyhow.

I've never had any troubles there.  The Inmanfield bridge sees quite a bit of traffic, which helps.  One night I camped within earshot of the bridge, and there were cars passing all night long.

I plan on being out 4 days so I'll also check out Kemp Creek. I'm having trouble locating FS 266 where the bridge is located. Does Capsey Creek have a trail head?

Here's how I do it: take Co Rd 41, which runs between Addison and Danville.  About 5 miles north of Addison, you'll see a historical marker for Looney's Tavern; turn here.  At the fork, stay right.  This road will take you to a bridge across Capsey.  We usually park on the near side and hike upstream on the near side.
