Closed during the plandemic. Not one covid patient seen running around the wilderness speading itself among the great populations. Thank you!
Great campground, if not a little out of the way! Watch out for the bumps, but it's definitely worth the drive.
This place is dangerous. The road to camp site is single lane un-paved . There are many signs of rock slide. The main camp ground has been closed for past 3years. Not Worth the time and danger to get down there
The camp ground was clean which is nice for a pack out what you pack in. There is no running water so be prepared if you go camping here. First come, first serve and the road is a pain but so worth the drive. Really off the beaten path and the river is running very fast right now which makes for beautiful white noise.
Really fun area to relax, however really hard to get to. That's the beauty though - secluded and awesome people that understand.
Be prepared before venturing down since road is unpaved/single lane, steep hill, no running water (but of course there's a whole river), and first-come first-serve. We went when there was a heatwave labor Day weekend and the river was running fast. Extremely cold water so be careful jumping in. Saw some kayaks and there is a launching area. There are bathrooms so no going in the woods.
There's a town nearby called Groveland to get supplies before going in.
