Small and clea

Great little spot to camp for a few night.  It is better when the water levels are higher but still a good spot what all the free spots are gone.  Bear boxes are a plus too.  There is a bear that we call Yogi because he likes to make his rounds.  So do the best to bear proof your site (back of the truck or in the car is not smart) and he will leave you alone.
