Quaint spot by the Stillwater River

Stayed here over Labor Day weekend so it was FULL. But (most) of the spots are large and spacious so it doesn’t feel crowded. There are snakes by the river (lots of rocks) and no cell service for MILES in any direction. Quiet, nice fishing access, nice spot for rock hounding too. “Boat ramp” is unusable IMO tho.

Easy access

This quaint little campground is easy to get to right off the gravel road. It sits right next to the stillwater river. There's a really cool, elevated cement lookout area next to the river to set up your chairs and fish. Theres also a vault toilet and picnic spot. Across the river is a rock ledge swimmers use to dive off of into a deep pool.

Great Riverside camping

No hookups of course. There is a toilet available. No light so make sure you take a flashlight at night. Great campsites. Privacy. Larger areas for groups. Fire rings. There are even some geocaches around the area. Great views. Good fishing. Clean and well kept. Make sure you pay and get your ticket at the front when you come in so the “ranger” knows you paid. Pack out what you pack in. Watch for open fire regs.
