There is a small parking area right at the campsites. This campground is very serene with the soft forest floor and very dense forest. Follow the wonderful sounds of the creek that runs along the side of the sites. It is magical location if you are a tent camper. I am sure a van or small RV could park in the parking lot for the night. The road in is gravel and rough at times. There are a lot of cabins or homes along the road and we encountered a lot of traffic. The backdrop of the mountains is beautiful.

Primitive walk-in tent camping in a cool riverside spot

Warning: google maps will take you down a small road with houses. Skip that one. Continue straight on the main road and it will have a turn off for the camp. 

At first we we a bit worried about what it would be like. The road there went through 20 some miles of ranching and no trees. Once the national forest starts it is a beautiful area. 

This is also walk-in tenting only. The sites are beautiful and hidden under trees. There is plenty of room between sites giving you privacy. The river is right next to the campsites - perfect sound to relax to. A hand pump water source is here. This is primitive camping in a cool little spot. 

There is a historical site open to tour on the weekend. Natural Bridge site is on the way here with hiking. This is a nice place but it doesn’t handle our teardrop camper.
