Small, simple, right by the river

I stayed 3 nights, and first two were fantastic. On the 3rd night a vehicle parked in the boat ramp lot and blasted music started at 2am, lots of yelling. I heard from several people that the walk-in spots can get pretty rowdy with locals. The pull-in spots were fine. Picnic table, fire ring, grill, camping pad. They were all at least partially shaded, with trees all around. Some girls at site 2 got some food taken from their picnic table overnight and we found bear tracks around their site - don't be stupid like them - keep your food in your car or in a bear safe bag. From the looks of it, people were using the camp as a base, and going out during the day - lots of kayaks and bikes. I ran to the Little Laurel trailhead and took that up to the Grandview park - a long run but fantastic. I drove down to Glade Creek and had a great 12 mile run there, too - I think I'll camp there next time. Anyways, definitely a nice little spot. Bathrooms were clean. Limited cell signal at best (Verizon). No running water.
