Great group sites. Two large fire rings and three tables. It was perfect for our three families.
The 2021 Pit River Tribal Ancestral Run was amazing because of the great facilities provided. Thank you so much.
Not very fun.
We had to leave early because it hailed. But even before that, the rain had made my tent floor wet, but that’s my own fault.
In addition, it is extremely cold there, even in summer, so pack warmly.
I’m sure it is great at other times when it isn’t raining, but I am not coming back to this place, as it is 4 hours from my place.
Three bear boxes per site, vault toilets and trash/recycling containers nearby. Potable water reasonably close.
Beautiful! A must see. This is a National Park so remember to stay on the designated trails, don't feed the wildlife, pick up your trash. Keep food and anything that smells of food (ie. cooking utensils, grills, etc.) inside the bear boxes.
