Beautiful Canyon on the River

The road in is rocky, and has big potholes, but should be passable if there's no rain. There are 17 or 18 spots on a few little trails. Some are pull in, some are easily accessed with a short walk. #1 is a hike in and it's a great secret little spot perfect for a small tent. Down side: people. On a nice day this place will be swamped with other travelers. It's also pretty windy for fires, but that could just be today. No bathroom, except a porto-potty and may or may not be possessed by an ancient demon from the pits of a sulfuric hell.

Easy to find

We pull a 24’ trailer and had plenty of room. The site are big and plenty of space between sites. Good views but no snow. We will revisit here because it is free for 14 days and this place is clean. They manage it very well.
