There are also 11 primitive campsites located within the interior of the campground and more planned for the future. Backcountry sites are also planned for the future. A bathhouse, separate ADA bathhouse, and dump station are provided.

Great campground but dry creek
This place is great for short stays but it’s he creeks appear to all be dried out. We are going to see a waterfall maybe tomorrow but the creek in the campground is bone dry. Idk if I missed it on their site but it looks like they don’t mention that on the website. The neighbor said all the creeks are empty.
Update: we had a blast on the trails and the dry creek. Incredible time. It is real wilderness they let you explore without huge constraints. It’s awesome. Hike to the top lookout and see the little sauty falls. Then hike down the dry creek. It’s so amazing. You can go rock climbing, repelling off the top of the mountain. It is very minimal restrictions but beware that you are on your own out there. No cell service to call for help. I give this place 5stars with or without water in the creek.

Very nice !
Plenty of trails & scenery, decent Wi-Fi. No diagonal with Verizon
Nice camp
Recently remodeled and reopened. All rv sites are level large concrete, most are power and water. I did see a few that offered sewer but only a few. Only one row is actually on the creek with most situated a little further away but in easy hearing distance of the rapids. The park is operated by the state and is very clean and staffed by friendly people to help. There is absolutely no cell service or tv stations available due to the geographic makeup of the park. They make up for this by excellent Wi-Fi throughout the park. Most phones will work fine while connected and tv streaming is great.
