Beautiful setting a little Dusty mid to late summer. Some noisy motorcyclists on the road just above But the creek is wonderful. Trout jumping in the stream. Cool breeze but warm in the Sun

My family absolutely loves this area and it should be treated as the gem that it is. Shallow swim holes for the little ones and challenging fishing can make the entire family smile after a long day or weekend up here. I arrived there was a big family with ATVs and side by sides camping in the overflow when we arrived packing up. Sadly leaving behind loads of trash near the creek and overflow campg...

I arrived there was a big family with ATVs and side by sides camping in the overflow when we arrived packing up. Sadly leaving behind loads of trash near the creek and overflow campground.... Don't do that and please pick up after yourselves so we can continue to use these lands. Keeping these lands accessible for future generations to come.

Great clean campground. Restrooms were available. Dumpster on site. Host mike was awesome. Could tell he was a little nervous about us city folk but as he surprised me being straight forward and very helpful only popping up to drop off some fire wood in the am. I hope we surprised him as well with how well we left the site. We were lucky to be able to enjoy one of the best spots in the park. Water... Great clean campground. Restrooms were available.

I hope we surprised him as well with how well we left the site. We were lucky to be able to enjoy one of the best spots in the park. Water was yards away and our 2 to 17 years had a blast being able to hit the water at in moment. A little pricey but it is definitely worth the coin with the hospitality of mike and the amiditets he dose offer. Looking forward to Definitely going back.

We go every year and camp next to the creek. Then we travel up the road and enjoy the waterfalls.

Great place to visit. No showers only restrooms. The river is nice, allot of uneven sections on the dirt road on the way to the campground. Drive slow and steady. Absolutely no fresh water so bring your own. Also.. our neighbors spotted a bear 1/2 a mile away, so remember to put you food away every night.
