Nice spot for fishing.

Don’t believe those pictures. The waterfall is about 8 miles away on a road that will take you at least 30 minutes to drive to because of how rough it is. It does however have a nice stream that runs along the camp site. Be prepared for bears. Almost immediately after casting a line in I hear a chuffing noise on the opposite side of the little river. The road leading in is unpaved and you will need 4x4. It took me about an hour to make the 20 mile drive.

Secluded and peaceful

Stayed a night with three friends. Would recommend bringing a group as it is secluded and pretty far out there. The paved road turns into a dirt road that takes you about 20 minutes to get to the camp ground itself. There are fire pits, toilets and a running stream close to most of the camp sites. Visited in April so Potem falls which is on your way to Madrone was running and very nice. Bring some sort of protection and medical kit just in case. No signal and far out.
