Features
Nice Find
Clean and quiet campsite on the water. There are several water spigots and there are sites with electrical hookups for RVs. The site also has a fishing dock with a small ramp to access the river with. During my stay there was lots of bear activity, but the bears avoided human contact and were not a threat. The site closed for renovations the day I left, but should be open again by the spring
Not in canyon
This campsite is on afterbay which is not in the canyon. Campsite is well maintained with drop toilet but no water
