This is a beautiful park to stop & rest. In the winter the creek is running with lots of water. Dog friendly on a leash. The bathrooms there are always nasty & stinky. They need to be cleaned everyday. This is a well used park. The garbage needs to be picked up more often..it was all over the ground around the garbage can that was overflowing. Whoever maintains this park needs to go on the trail by the creek & pick up the garbage that the garbage pigs have left because they were too lazy to take it to the garbage can across the park.. The bbq pit needs to be cleaned out. It's full of old ashes & an aluminum can & a glass bottle. There needs to be a garbage can at both ends of this beautiful park. Signs need to be posted to pick up your garbage & put it in the garbage can provided or take it with u..really people..do you have to be garbage pigs?...how hard is it to take your garbage with u? Help CA stay clean & beautiful..

Camp 20 is a little gem rest spot on the way to or back from Ft Bragg. Make your way to the creek behind the bathrooms for some beautiful forest and river photo opportunities. The area by the southern picnic tables also has a cool river area. Would've given Camp 20 five stars but the bathrooms could be a little cleaner/accommodating.

The bathroom was dirty, no place to wash your hands. But when in a bind it works. Thank God that I had hand sanitizer with me. On the positive note, it is a beautiful place.

This was just a quick stop for us beautiful place. They have picnic tables little barbecue area bathrooms. Looks like it would be a great place to relax have a picnic and go do a little bit of hiking and exploring. We came from willits heading towards fort Bragg I've only done this trip a few times this is the first time I've stopped here next time I will have to explore it some more.

Nice Bathrooms. If you follow up the creek there is a very nice hanging bridge to take pictures on. Bathrooms are alright.
