Very close to water access

This summer there was a lot of construction on the high way, you have to wait for a “pilot” car going the direction you want then you follow the heard.

Great boat access areas

Fun on the river

Sourdough creek campground has Clean bathrooms. Fun River academy. At just $12 a night. Quite private space not on top of your neighbors. Walk in sites and ADA sites and walking tails though out camp ground. No cellphone signal so you can really be in touch with nature.
