Always enjoyable to camp right on the river. It was fast and loud this early in the year.
No phone, no wi-fi.
The camp host is doing a great job of keeping everything neat and clean.

Clean bathrooms and campsites. Camp host very friendly. Lowman Ponds aren't too far up the road and a great place to take the family fishing for rainbow trout. Sourdough Lodge offers great diner food, if you're wanting a night off from cooking. They're located across the main road from the ponds.
