I LOVED this experience. We did an overnight canoe trip through White Pelican rental which I highly recommend! It was a couple hour paddle, plus we made a pit stop at the castle rock overlook, before we got to the canoe in site. Site selection is first come, first serve and the registration and payment is done on the honor system, and they do have rangers that monitor. Someone came fairly early in the morning to check and make sure everyone paid and that we actually canoed in and didn’t park off a road somewhere and walk in. I can’t quite remember how many sites there are, I want to say about 5-6 and then a group site. We were wondering if we might be the only ones there because we saw a review from two weeks prior where that was the case but it was actually a pretty popular night, there was a Boy Scout group in the group area and two of the other single sites were occupied. Bathroom situation here is a porta potty, but it was pretty clean during our visit. There are a couple mowed walking paths in the area. Then we had a couple more hours to paddle down the river to our pick up spot. My boyfriend did get a horrible case of poison ivy following this trip, though we can’t figure out why or how because he didn’t really get into any greenery other than grass. Our best guess was that maybe the site next to us burned some because they had gathered wood and debris to burn from the area for their fires.
