We go there often. The river is not accessible by vehicle anymore which is a pain but also necessary because people are so lazy and destructive. You have to walk to the river which is fine unless you have a lot of stuff. You can camp in the parking lot with your rig or pack all your stuff in to tent camp nearer the river.
