Great camping spot!

We stopped to camp here on a trip to Northern California and we were not disappointed. We were in campsite 26 which backed right up to water. It was great! We had a beautiful view of the canyon valley and the stars at night were perfect. Plenty of space and privacy. 

Beautiful!

Well developed campgrounds with fire pits, grills, and tables. Vault toilets are also available.
Good amount of privacy with all the trees.

Aspen Trees!

I loved everything, the campgrounds are super beautiful, there is a lot of privacy between sites, easy check in. There are not showers even if in the description in the app it says that they have, I’ll recommend to bring your own firewood because they didn’t have any for selling when we went there.
I’ll definitely come back!

Incredible view

Escape the heat and enjoy the mtns and river.   Campsites are easy to pull into
