I selected this site without ever having seen it, though I had visited the day use area here before. On the campground map it appeared to have decent distance from other sites and was backed up by the river. However it has ZERO separation from site #7. I pitched my tent on the only level area and it was like 15 ft from site 7's table. Fortunately the campground was relatively empty and I decided to just pay for site 7 as well in order to avoid having a "neighbor" that close. Sites 7 and 8 should really be a single site, maybe for a group. Sites 4, 5, and 6 all have better separation, though 4 and 5 are close to the outhouse. Also, the Forest Service desperately needs to fix the road at this campground, especially the huge drop off the pavement at the entry. For the rest, it's a beautiful place and I might stay here again (though not in site 8), probably again midweek in order to avoid too many neighbors. Yellow jackets were very annoying through much of the day and even at dusk. Toilet is well maintained, but the metal seat is kind of a drag. The host is not very visible but seemed to come through every morning and clean the outhouse.

Fall River is one of our favorite spots to fly fish. It’s so clear and especially fun to throw a dry fly and get these big trout to rise! The campground is always clean and quiet and located right on the river. From there it’s a short walk up to the headwaters, where the river bubbles right out of the ground. The hatchery is nearby as well and is worth a visit to see the operations and to fly fish!
