Great and peaceful spots with lots of spots close to the river. This area is tight to get into with the narrow path and overgrown trees and shrubs.

Great small campground for smaller trailers( 20-25 ft. ). Green and pretty quiet. There’s a dirtroad right across the creek but you don’t really hear it from the sound of the water. Camp hosts are very helpful and keep the area clean.
