Cliff Swallow Fishing Access

A 25-mile gravel road from the west leads to this riverside fishing access site on the Stillwater River. The campground provides five sites with varying capacities—two tent-only spots, two that accommodate trailers up to 30 feet, and one designed for vans or trucks. Site 2 sits directly next to the water with a picnic table and fire grate, plus convenient proximity to the pit toilets.

The rushing river creates both fishing opportunities and safety considerations, particularly around the sandy beach area where families with small children need to exercise caution. Basic amenities include fire pits with cooking grates and restroom facilities. Campers can explore additional places to camp near Fishtail or check out Castle Rock for another riverside option.

GREAT scenery and simple amenities

We enjoyed spot 2 which was right next to the fishing river water. We appreciated the picnic table (even with a few broken slats) and the provided cooking grate over the fire pit. Also, spot 2 is next to the bathrooms! There's a nice sandy beachy area for smaller kids but beware of the dangers of the rushing water!
