We live 2 1/2 hours south, but travel up to Benbo SRA every summer to enjoy the south Fork of the Eel River and the beautiful campground that it has to offer. Very short walk to the water the bathrooms are cleaned daily they have coin operated showers. Make sure to bring dollar bills to exchange in the machine for the coins that they use. There is a large stretch of shallow water, which is great for smaller children, but you can also swim out to deeper parts, which is great for adults and teens. There is also a wonderful rock for jumping off of.
