Really rocky, walk-in tent only for overnight

The Diversion Dam River Access Point was an interesting "campground". You are allowed to camp there but not in the parking lot you can't take vehicles out of the parking lot so you'll have to hike in to any of the spots. The part of this that threw me for a loop was the fact that there are spaces that look like campsites directly on the parking lot. They are day use spaces even though they have fire pits and tables. There are also grills near the parking spaces. There was a camp host with a camper in the parking lot but since there is no ability to pull into the areas you're allowed to camp in you will NOT be able to camp overnight in a trailer. The parking lot did have a few pull through trailer spaces though so if you're there for day use or just driving through you will be able to get in and park. There is a bathroom building with standard vault toilets. If you climb about 20 stairs you can look out over the Diversion Dam and read some informational signs on the damn project.

The reason this is not a perfect 5 star is because it is limited to tents only, doesn't have much shade coverage, and the open areas are fairly rocky. While it was clean and had facilities I think it's very catered to a specific type of camper.
