Enjoyable

Was passing through so only stayed for a night. The sites next to the river were gorgeous, but there were only a handful and they were occupied. The sounds from the creek were lovely, but you could equally hear the sounds of the highway. A permit is required to camp, all of the sites down the road are the same though. No cell phone service. Very peaceful though.
