Customer Reviews
Lovely campsite! But very hard to get to. Multiple stream crossing either which way on the trail. Sometimes the water comes up to your knees, and can rise significantly in the rain. This campsite is a small island with two campsites and 4 bear wires. If you can make the stream crossings, this camp is totally worth it. Water is easily accessible, but starting a fire can be hard, as there is mostly only rhododendrons, and all the ground is wet all the time, so using a stove is a very good idea. Very lovely and iconic spot, totally recommend.
