The perfect camp

We stayed in early May so it was chilly but during the day was 70’s so we got in the river and washed off. We stayed at the one site on the left before you cross the bridge and we didn’t see anyone all day or night. Plenty of flat ground and trees for hammocks. Walk just a couple feet right down to the river. Not too buggy at the time but some usual spiders and flies. Our dogs had a blast. One of the best spots we have stayed in so far very easy to access as well.

Well worth looking for!

This place is perfect and has plenty of spots that are away from everyone else. You can hear the river running at night. No one was loud. It was great. Will definitely be back. And the chipmunks are cute but will steal your food so watch out for them.
