Nothing Speacial But It Works

The drive down to the campground wasn't bad just dusty. The water level was way down. They still did have a road all the way to the water. They have 2 compost bathrooms. Beware, the road in is easy and there are areas of deep gravel and sand. With that being said the cl8mb out of there could be a struggle without a 4 wheel drive especially pulling a camper. I saw a couple struggle to get their 2WD truck out. Also it was 109F in the canyon during this time and there is no shade in the park. Water temp was awesome though.

Water level too low, ok for some nude hiking and camping

I was here in August (just now getting around to writing some reviews).  Of course it was hot then, but that's perfect weather for me since I'm nude all the time when I travel, camp and hike.  Did some nude hiking and pretty much had the area all to myself.  Water level was very low so access there was a hike.
