The first time I came here was solo camping. That was scary especially because there was a collapsed tree on top of a truck that was abandoned. The second time was with friends and there were other campers out. I love the view and the sound of the river! Each site is pretty small…maybe enough for 2-3 tents. Be careful of getting too close to the river because it looks like the earth can erode and break away into the river (why the trees collapse). I would definitely go again!!

So, this was my first time to this spot. The reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because of how crowded it was. We had a hard time finding an open spot so we could set up camp. We almost made it to the end of the dirt road before we found a lot with a fire pit that could fit our group of 4. AMAZING views of the mountains and it was about 7min (drive) from the beach access point. There were signs saying “camping closed”, however, everyone ignored the signs and still camped out. There wasn’t anyone coming to kick people out. On a side note, there were plenty of disrespectful people who left their garbage at the beach…other than that, this was an overall fun and memorable experience!

The ONLY reason I gave 4 stars and not 5 is because there was an abandoned truck that was smashed by a fallen tree on the grounds.

Mind you, I went solo camping so it made the experience CREEPY. The owner of the vehicle left belongings behind too. EEK!

The view was amazing and there were plenty of fire pits. Just be careful along the waterline because it looks the trees often fall into the river or maybe in the rare case SMACK DAB on top of your car!

Also, I had cell signal with Verizon. A weak signal BUT I could send loved ones my location just in case. I would recommend this site but not when you’re by yourself!

These grounds had lots of room despite the amount of people camping.

I was able to setup a hammock and camp in a cluster of trees and also found some dry wood onsite to burn.

There was a hot spring nearby that was nice to soak in.
