When booking the site for Memorial Day weekend, it was only available to reserve on Thursday. The rest of the weekend showed FF, or first come first serve. So if we are there Thursday, and the rest is FF, we should be able to stay the whole weekend. When we arrived at the site, it did have our reservation, but also was reserved for the rest of the weekend to someone else. I am perplexed how a FF site can be reserved. Needless to say I sought out other plans, and am highly disappointed in my experience.

There’s a train..., be ready for it! 😉
Beautiful setting and super quiet (except train).

Although the fishing was slow, the weather was great and we had good company. The camp host was also very friendly. The couple has been there for 3 years and has local contacts in case of emergency. Our kids somehow locked the keys inside the trailer and they had reception and a mobile lock smith to recommend.
If your up for a hike, there is a trail to the top of the canyon where you can see the river and campsite below. Round trip was about an hour and a half.
