Small hidden entrance before the bridge or just after, depending which direction you come from

I have been to this place many times, just to take my dog out enjoy the river and the sandy beach- like waterfront. It is truly a hidden in plain site gem! The entrance is a little sketchy to get into, if you know how to drive a truck with a pull behind you can make it down into this campsite. Not for the beginners! I wouldn't recommend taking a 5th wheel or anything bigger down this little trail. There are big grooves in the dirtroad and once you're in, you're all in because there's no turning around until you get to the river/ camping grounds about a football field away from the entrance. This place is worth it!
