Cute spot!

Came in on a Thursday and it was totally packed! Came back early Friday morning and snagged the last available spot. Nice little path down to the river. Right next to the road so it can be a little noisy. Nice spot to drive up and down for fishing

10 Shaded spots with many old Cedar trees.

Spaced well for privacy, trails to the water from camp, pump water, clean bathrooms. Bring the bug spray!!!
Beautiful area with an abundance of wild flowers and ferns. There are song birds that sing until nightfall, so peaceful. I wish I knew what kind of song birds they were on the tree tops.

Garnet sand?!?

Happened across this little gem by chance. we set up camp in one of the very few spots and walked down to the river via the very convenient path, looked down, and there was a bunch of purple sand. I panned a bit of the sand and it is full of tiny garnets. Pretty cool!
