Very cool experience! It was no joke when the other reviews said it was a almost a 3 hour canoe back up to the boat launch. However, it was a very great experience once we got to the campsite. There is a porta potty, but there is no clean drinking water. Cell phone signal is not that great, but you really don't need it. Stars ✨ look amazing at night. Mosquitoes were not bad at all. Just some bud but all they do is annoy you. Make sure you have a good canoe/kayak. Don't recommend an inflatable one like I did. Some parts of the river are shallow enough to walk on too. Overall, I do recommend Castle rock state park to camp if you have a good kayak/canoe or have a motor boat. It was very peaceful only a few people came the weekend we went. Everyone had there own space and didn't feel too close to each other.
