Serene camping along the river. The most diverse wildlife and foliage I have seen in a while.

This is not an actual “campground”. Depending on the time of year, there is a good chance when you hike the quarter of a mile in - the camping spot is taken. Boy Scout troops like to camp here as well. Please pick up after yourself. Pack it in - pack it back out. There have been more and more people coming and enjoying the area and leaving trash for others to pick up. This is a wild and scenic corridor. If you’re going to be lazy and leave a trace that you’ve been here, please go camp by a stream in the city somewhere.

HIKE IN CAMPING - 3 stars because we didn't actually get down to the camping spots. Thought this was a drive in and camp spot so was ok getting in late after dark planning to camp next to the car. Was unaware it was a hike in campground. I would be excited to see how good it is if we had prepared for a hike in camping weekend.

Absolutely love this place!! Just hang out and relax. The walk back up to the parking lot is little bit of a workout but well worth it
