Decent Spot

Camped at Cassidy bridge on a bikepacking trip. Location is great, right by the river. Sites are not marked and not much to the site. It does have a pit toilet, but no other amenities.

Primitive Camping Ideal for Hunters

I stayed at this campground in October, so there were several hunters camped there. Although it is a hunt camp, people who do not hunt can stay there as well. The sites are level, and some of them are very large. It is beside the river, so you can hear the sounds of water all night long. However, you also have to listen to the sounds of hunters, in season, passing by in their trucks. I chose a site closer to the front of the camping area away from the hunters, so it wasn’t so bad, but it was beside the entranced road. I talked to one of the hunters, and he was friendly, so I didn’t get the feeling of being a naissance. There is a certain amount of fascination seeing these hunters with their camps set up. They are very serious and have everything they need. There are no facilities, so you have to take your own water, toilet paper, etc. The road to the campground is by way of a forest road which is a half mile long. You will also have to drive over a place in the road where the water crosses. Unfortunately, the site where I stayed had some trash left over, but I have come to expect that at primitive campgrounds. Overall, I recommend it, but I would also suggest that you avoid hunting season when you go.

Great primitive camp

Great hunting fishing and camping. Outhouse is the only thing that is there for use. Anything else you must supply yourself. I go every year for bear season and will continue to do so.
