Customer Reviews
This is no longer a campground. Old cement fire rings in this spot suggest that it was used as a campground in earlier times. Current signage call this a "river access". There is a double track leaving the county road, but it is rough, and little used. There are unimproved places where several vehicles could be parked. There is no restroom facility here, and no picnic tables.
