Nice little spot

Handful of sites on a small river. Clean, quiet, well kept. Super private and lovely. Each site has a fire ring and picnic table.

SiteI don’t think they’re numbered? it was down on the right hand side off the loop.

Terrible night

This actual spot was mediocre, there was non flammable trash shoved into the fire ring and it was pretty gross and noisy.

Most of the spots we’ve found on here have been amazing but our night here was downright terrifying. We pulled into a spot on the river and it seemed like a busy night, a few trucks even drove into our spot but politely backed out.

In the middle of the night we were woken up by our dog barking crazily towards the river. Several figures were looming over there pretty far from the car but they were audible and sounded inebriated. We already thought about leaving and then one person who was dressed in all black came across the spot about five feet from our car and then our dog scared them off. Thank god we car camp because this was honestly terrifying and whoever that jerk was ruined our night and shook us up for at least a day.

Nice Spot for a Few Days

Pretty nice spot for a few days. Fire rings (no fires allowed right now), picnic tables, a super cute stream that runs through, nice, level spots, vault toilets, and quiet, gorgeous views. Would definitely stay again.
