Bridges Campground

The campground no longer looks like the pictures. Im guessing the spring run off damaged the creek because there is now a huge valley with the river running through it.  There is a waterfall flowing over exposed bedrock at the top of the campsite that is cool though. There are downed trees everywhere and  excavation all around the opening to the campground that look like berms. 

I would only recommend site 3 if your'e bringing a trailer. We were in site 1 and the parking spot was very slanted and we had to re-level or trailer daily because the ground was very soft. Site 4 no longer appears to be present. The area where I think site 4 used to be is very soft and the ground gives slightly under your steps. Site 2 might work if you have a very small trailer but the parking would be very hard for a larger one. Sites 2 and 3 would be best for tents as site 1 is very sloped.

We did have a visit from some coyotes while we were there. First we heard them up on the ridge but they were brave enough to come into the campground very near us with a our fire going so we just went inside for the night.

The campground was mostly open while we were there and we enjoyed the quiet and solitude. The images are from just up hill of site 3.

Located on the creek and to the north of the road from the Bridges Campground is a two spot family campground. The spot is first come, first serve with a check out time of 1:00 PM. Cost is $5 per vehicle per night with a fee station at the sign. Because of the proximity to the creek and lack of pit toilets on this side of the road, campers must have black/grey tanks.

The creek is absolutely beautiful and the upper spot has a nice fire ring and picnic table while the lower spot has a fire ring only. The only drawback is the dead timber present in the whole canyon from a 2012 wildfire.
