Absolutely gorgeous campsites along side river and are very spacious… few sites can accommodate big rigs … it’s free to stay … 16 days limit and has vault toilets …

Great free campsite nestled in the forest. No cell service here so you get a great disconnect from the world. The train passed by twice during the night for us but we fell back asleep quickly. They still had an area restriction notice at the entrance, even though that had been lifted a good few weeks prior which meant we had to drive to somewhere with cell service to see if we could stay there! So... Great free campsite nestled in the forest. No cell service here so you get a great disconnect from the world. The train passed by twice during the night for us but we fell back asleep quickly.

Some sites are more level than others though. No issues with a 29ft RV though.

Primitive Camp with Nice Flat Campsites. There are Primitive Permanent Outhouses and Fire Rings. Big enough spaces for Campers. Great views of the river and mountains.

This was an absolutely beautiful place, and I enjoyed relaxing and enjoying the peace and watching the river flow by. Sites are well spaced out. Vault toilets. I hope to go again.
