Wonderful place to camp. Gorgeous creek and wonderful camp host created nice trails to access different points of the creek. Kid friendly and a lot to see and do off of highway 4. No cell service, no water, so plan accordingly.

Gunny was an excellent source of information about the area and soothed our concerns by answering our questions and letting us know what we needed to know. Site 15 was great! Good tree coverage, ample space for 2 campers, and enough of a gap between sites that we felt comfortable and could enjoy the sounds kf nature. The trail up to the waterfall was short and outlined by logs. The path down to the river was steep in some places, but calming when you get there. Worth a visit!
