Eucalyptus

We drove all the way to the third and last parking lot and didn’t find any previously established campgrounds so we ended up just setting up next to the river. It’s a beautiful area but people haven’t been cleaning up after themselves and there’s a lot of beer cans and fishing line scattered around. There’s a lot to explore and it wasn’t crowded at all. We usually bring a water filter if we are camping by a river or stream, but this is the upper salt river and even when you filter it the water tastes extremely salty so we brought water with us.

Eucalyptus has 3 parking areas and multiple bathroom buildings. When we visited there was a motorhome set up in the farthest loop and they were obviously camping in it. Beyond setting up a motorhome in the parking lot (which I honestly didn't look at the signs to see if this was allowed) there is only 1 pull in campsite and it's immediately off of the first parking lot. There is a dirt road off to the left as you enter the area that you can use to get to campsites but it is for high clearance vehicles and 4 wheel drive only (just my 2 cents). Most of the area on the dirt road has powdered dirt and it was easy to get stuck. If you don't mind parking and carrying your gear in there are plenty of campsites located within a few hundred feet of the parking areas and very close to the river.
