Great Views but Noisy Road

Greats views and ambiance here. Rangers were very friendly. Only downside is the noisy highway is too close by.

Good convenient spot

We arrived after dark and we’re mostly trying to find somewhere to camp. There are great views of the stars, the river is very close to the campground, and it’s only about 20 minutes from silverthorn. The spots are pretty close together and there is a decent amount of traffic noise during the day but it dies down in the night. The bathrooms are well maintained, there is trash located near them and each site has a picnic table and bear box. Overall a nice place for a quick getaway.
