Swinging Bridge

This is a small campground that is best if you are in an RV for shade. This section of the river is exposed to the elements so it can get pretty windy and hot. The water access is limited to the boat ramp or wandering through the brush to get to the edge. 

The first few spots of the campground are also a bit higher up on a cliff so be careful if you are planning to take those spots. The water is shallow but beautiful. 

I spent most of my time paddleboarding through the rocky formations next to the site. 

The bridge is super cool. Very narrow and makes for great photo opportunities and a little bit of a thrill if you want to complete the drive across it. It was rebuilt in 2018 after the center collapsed out of it. It is super sturdy now. 

We decided after spending some time here that we wanted to move to the Crook campground for some shade. 

This park and campground is handicap accessible but not paved. There are also handicap fishing spots, hunting blinds for permit hunting in season, and tons of wildlife. There are 5 sites on the river side and two on the land side of the road next to the bathroom. The bathrooms are really well maintained and clean. 

The TP was fully stocked and was handicap accessible. The boat ramp is better at this campground than at Crook. There are no motorized boats allowed on this section of the water. Only human run boating aka paddleboards, rafts, float boats and tubes. This boat ramp is at deep enough water and the“ramp” isn’t too steep. There is no trash service so pack out what you brought in.
