Beautiful hike along the river
I love this site. There is a trail at the far end that leads to a cool rock formation with caves in it. They are small but really cool to explore. Cute and gross little cave crickets live there as well as those creepy spiders. But over all a beautiful walk in and out. I prefer to go in the fall because of the leaves ❤️
Nice river Spot BLM
I thought all BLM land was free but not the case. We went to a BLM campground before this one but they were completely full. This one had plenty of spaces and was really fun to walk down to the river and back. Dry camping only $14.00 a night or $7.00 for seniors. There’s water at the campground but not at the site. They have firewood available for the honor system of $10.00
