Very popular, close to town

This is a very popular spot with locals and out-of-towners. The road in is fairly rugged and some parts particularly steep and rocky. Four-wheel drive is advisable for access to sites farther in. One vault toilet for more than a dozen campsites spread over about a half mile. Some sites have tables and some do not. Easy kayak launching at the mouth and lots of shoreline access. No potable water on-site. Still a beautiful spot to get away.

Early Oct

Right on the river. Caution on approach road, ruts and mud potential. Here on a Monday, but has the look of partyville on the weekends. Tables are a bit warn and fire rings are well used.

Siteno numbers, just tables mark the spots.
