Really fun area to relax, however really hard to get to. That's the beauty though - secluded and awesome people that understand. Be prepared before venturing down since road is unpaved/single lane, steep hill, no running water (but of course there's a whole river), and first-come first-serve. We went when there was a heatwave labor Day weekend and the river was running fast. Extremely cold water so be careful jumping in. Saw some kayaks and there is a launching area. There are bathrooms so no going in the woods. There's a town nearby called Groveland to get supplies before going in.

The camp ground was clean which is nice for a pack out what you pack in. There is no running water so be prepared if you go camping here. First come, first serve and the road is a pain but so worth the drive. Really off the beaten path and the river is running very fast right now which makes for beautiful white noise.

This place is dangerous. The road to camp site is single lane un-paved . There are many signs of rock slide. The main camp ground has been closed for past 3years. Not Worth the time and danger to get down there

Great campground, if not a little out of the way! Watch out for the bumps, but it's definitely worth the drive.

Closed during the plandemic. Not one covid patient seen running around the wilderness speading itself among the great populations. Thank you!

If you are reading this in 2025 or later: Do NOT come here. Do NOT come down this road. This road has not been in use for YEARS and is EXTREMELY DEADLY. It does NOT matter if you have a high clearance 4x4. It does NOT matter if you have enough gas in your car or enough time to kill. You will likely DIE or become stranded on 1N14. I am begging anyone who reads this to PLEASE stay away. We almost lost our lives yesterday and we will never be the same mentally after what that trail put us through. We slipped half way off the cliff numerous times. There are now trees growing through the trail that make it impossibly narrow. One of the trees collapsed on us when we brushed against it and it destroyed our iKamper. 4500 dollars down the drain but we didn’t even care, that’s how life threatening this was… our car too severe damage and we considered ourselves LUCKY so take that into consideration. If you read this and you go on 1N14 and you get stranded, or you total your car, or you’re tumbling down the cliff into the river, seconds away from your death… I told you so.
