This place rules..the waterfalls and cliff jumping though.

We stumbled upon this little gem in august right before the eclipse. It was nice and quiet here. The campsites were spread out really good. I imagine the eclipse here was absolutely incredible. I didn't notice a bathroom although there may have been one. This is carry in carry out no amenities.

The best thing about this place is the waterfall, rapids, and cliff jumping. its not a far drive or an awesome hike from the campsite. Steelhead falls is the name of the water falls and cliff jumping spot. Theres shade at the sites, trees for hammocks, and all around beautiful.

Cheers!
