Beautiful, Clean, Remote, Quiet!

Utterly amazing experience here!! Despite being right off of a road, I was surprised that of the 4 nights we spent out here maybe only one or two cars drove by after dark. There's a biker bar not too far away that we took a walk to, folks were kind there. During the day, you'll see people ride down the river in rafts, and they can be a tad noisy BUT you won't be able to hear them over the sound of the roaring rapids if you disappear into the treeline to relax in a chair or hammock! Equipped with grills, flat plots, and a water well, this site was perfect for our large group. Great view of the stars at night, too. Not a ton in the way of hiking, but if you're adventurous you can wander off into the bluffs.
