Closed in Winter
I parked for the night at the gate (which is locked for the season ..late October thru May I think). It’s right off the highway so expect some road noise.
Right on the river
This campsite is usually full so when I was able to get a spot I was pretty happy. $10 a night to be right in the river. I did a cold plunge into the river the second we got there. Slept great with the sounds of the river. Lots of field mice running around in the brush and bugs though.
Easy & Convenient (but not during Winter)
I had hopes this campground would be open during the winter. Alas :(
