This campground offers a few sites right alongside the Mora River, where you can enjoy the soothing sounds of flowing water and the peaceful surroundings.
While amenities are limited, visitors have found the simplicity refreshing. There are pit toilets and trash receptacles, but no drinking water or picnic tables, so come prepared. One camper noted, “The river was less than 30 ft from my campsite which hid my snoring,” highlighting the serene atmosphere that many appreciate.
For those eager to explore, the area is perfect for hiking and fishing, with some spots offering great catches right from the river. The nearby trails provide stunning views and a chance to immerse yourself in the local wilderness. Just keep in mind that cell service is spotty, so it’s a great place to disconnect and enjoy the outdoors.
