What Guests Are Saying
Cassidy Bridge Primitive Camp offers a private and spacious camping experience, ideal for groups, with clean facilities and bear-proof trash cans. While the lock can be challenging and some areas have storm damage, many visitors appreciated the clean bathroom and the opportunity for fishing in the nearby river. However, noise from traffic and the presence of litter detracted from the overall experience for some campers.

We have stayed here every year for several years with our children and grandchildren. Everyone loves this campground. It is private and
always clean, the only drawback is the lack of fresh water.

We enjoy how beautiful the spot is and how private the spot is. We suggest bringing fishing gear and swimming gear because the river is always refreshing.
