Anglers and swimmers gain direct access to the Middle Fork Smith River at this dispersed camping area located along a dead-end road near Gasquet. The site features a large, circular turnaround that accommodates big rigs and provides ample space for multiple camping setups, though privacy between sites remains limited.
A trail leads directly down to the river, where campers find room for both fishing and swimming activities. The road access proves straightforward for any vehicle type, making this a practical overnight stop. Sound from the nearby river provides natural background noise, while an overlook at the road's end offers views of the water below. For those wanting developed facilities, Grassy Flat Campground sits just west of this location.
