Very remote but with fairly easy access.

. Right on a beautiful swimming hole.  Has pit toilets. Even if you find other campers there (rare) you can’t hear anything due to the river. Several other campsites around as well. Chose one directly on the river. Plenty of firewood around. Filtered water from the river. Another campsite 45 minutes northwest. Almost as nice. Has a sandbar. The whole area is spectacular. The river is very chilly. Great on hot summer days.
