Haven’t camp yet but now I want to. I have seen the place while driving around. Its beautiful and camp site also looked very clean and pleasant.
It was beautiful! I went for the hiking there was so much i couldn't do it all in two days! I can't wait to go back! I don't like the walk in camping though.
Switch backs are a little bumpy in spots. Was a cool place to sleep for the night nice and quiet. Don't recommend big motorhome or rv I'm in a van.
The road is very beautiful! Very crocked and steep. It is worth the drive. Easy to hike to swimming hole. Beautiful tent Campground. Great fishing, and canoe area. With options for more experienced hikers
It's a pretty spot on the river. But too wide open. No privacy if you're camping. I wouldn't sleep here. But the trail between Steel Creek and Ponca is a good hike. And one of the only trails, sadly, that you can do with a dog. I was a little upset about that in the river area. All the really good hikes are off limits to people with dogs. Leashed or not
