Great spot on the river

We camped in our truck camper in the day use area. Lots of flat ground and clean bathrooms. There was also a fire ring next to a picnic table covered by a pavilion.

Peaceful and scenic

This place is great. It's out a ways down a dirt road but it's worth the drive back. There is a campground before it but keep going another mile. There are a lot of sites, all free. Some have fire rings, many don't. Most have grills, some don't. We stayed off to the right as you come in. It is more in the open, less trees. It's right on the river. There nice trout to be caught when the river is running clear. Locals said that some pull out catfish too. The mosquitos are bad in the evening and the morning, which is why there is a star off. But locals told us to burn pinion pine to keep them away. It just rained all night so we didn't have a good fire. We met a couple other groups, all together over three sites that were really nice.

The camping sites don't have covered picnic tables but there are two by the boat launch. We cooked dinner there so that we could eat. We weren't getting a fire with all the rain so we used our jetboil and primus stove. By the time we were done it was 8 and since we sleep in tents, we went to bed. It rained all night but morning was nice and toasty.

The locals told us that bear come through at night and so do mountain lions. Both have been seen in the last week. They don't usually bother anything but keep your kids and dogs close.

It's well worth it, the bathrooms were immaculate. I've never seen such clean vault toilets. The toilet paper was very well stocked, which is also unusual in other places we have stayed. Go out, it's a good place to be.
