A QUICK TRIP OUT OF TOWN

Quiet, not many people this late in the season. Just a little off the path. Very peaceful listening to the river current trickling by. Highly recommend.

Quiet and well maintained campground

I would rate this higher than any dispersed campground. Well maintained campsites with new covered tables and leveled site for tents at each. Pit toilets were very clean with plenty of toilet paper. A hidden gem and a bargain at $10 a night
