Great quick spot with a river view and mountain.

Went tent camping there on Sep 30 into Oct. 1. Had a spot right next to the river with a fire pit. Logs provided just down the road for $5. My 03 Honda Accord made it there just fine, might have to be smart with sedans as there was an interesting spot where you could scrape the underside of your car. Not really any people if you get there early.

Beautiful and secluded

It was difficult to find a place to camp. Most spots are first-come basis so most spots were occupied when looking both in the morning and evening. There are many beautiful views in the area!
