Visitors appreciated the river access and scenic views, but several guests noted heavy vehicle traffic and noise issues throughout the night. The area offers limited developed sites with minimal amenities along a busy road.

Quiet even with some traffic

Drove around a bit, found a nice flat site, there are several. Road is rough in a couple spots however I did fine in minivan for what I needed to camp. No amenities. There are rabbits hopping around. Established firepits. Evidence of recent clearing of encampment, most debris is gone. Always pack out more than you've packed in. Every piece picked up helps 🙏 Safe travels EDIT: I've had great TMobile signal most of time here (4+ nights)

Busy & Small

Came here because the camp ground down the road was gated off and locked. I only saw two sites with fire rings on the side of the road and the road was busy with cars going by all hours for the night.

Lovely views

It’s got great views and near the river, but homeless camps sometimes set up around here.

Not really dispersed camping

There was a few pullouts on the road and I wouldn’t exactly call it dispersed camping. I parked in what I think was a road for fishing access. Only positive was the river was right there

Target practice

I liked the area, but it seemed to be heavily trafficked. Lots of cars and vans drove by. I was also woken up in the middle of the night to someone practicing with their shotgun in the distance for a good half hour
