Great place for a weekend with family and friends

We went to Schafer with four other families and had a great time.  We had five sites all in one area near the entrance to the group camp site.  The sites offered a good balance of privacy and open space.  We were able to set up a kitchen area in one site and a firepit area in another.

We were also able to use the space in the group camp area for the dogs to run and kids to play because it was unoccupied due to COVID restrictions.  The group site is very open, but has a great covered area and a ton of space.  We are considering reserving it for our next group camp activity.

The river is really good for splashing and wading, but a little too shallow for swimming and floating.  There are some great rock beaches that you can set up chairs and hang for the day.  We had a lot of fun watching the kids enjoy the water while kicking back in some chairs with the other adults.

There is a figure eight hiking loop that offers some really great variation in terrain and vegetation without being too long.  There was a really cool section along the back side that was like walking through a forest tunnel.

All in all, we really enjoyed out time at Schafer and it's on our list to go back to.
