This free BLM campground provides a handful of first-come, first-served sites directly on the Smith River, operating from late May through September. The small facility includes pit toilets but no potable water, requiring campers to filter river water or bring their own supply. Road access accommodates standard vehicles.
Sites sit in mixed forested and open terrain along the riverbank. The location works well for touring cyclists and travelers needing an unplanned overnight stop without reservations. Smith River Campground lies nearby for those seeking additional amenities. Campers should pack water or bring filtration equipment for the river source.
