Hike, boat or paddle in to nicely separated, quiet campsites with great views. Many near water and with shade. Park service keeps outhouses clean and regularly removes trash from bear proof containers. Best to use bear box storage near outhouses more to keep chipmunks and ground squirrels out than bears. Great fishing and paddling among rock formations. Windy at times. No mosquitos but some biting flies deterred by deet.
Absolutely beautiful, but yes, you do have to backpack everything in. The parking lot is at least a half mile away.
Most beautiful place. Will go again. Now we know what to expect. Very private camp sites. Always bring cash. Entrance fee is 10.- cash only for park. There is also a general store for wood and necessities. Great fishing, kayaking. Only gave 4 stars cause we were not aware of how far and difficult it was to reach our camp site from parking lot. Had to leave 80 percent of gear in vehicle since the hike was too far and too steep to our spot 916. We have seen people turning around and leave their hike to go back to their vehicle. It should be mentioned on website that this is not a straight shot walking to the sites. There are many sites and the area is big. Half a mile to 3/4 of a mile is not accurate. It is backcountry camping, so be a good walker/hiker. Pack very lightly! Overall though: amazing!!
This is THE most beautiful campground I’ve ever seen in my life! The campsite we had was along the water, nestled between some boulders, with trees all around us was stunning to say the least!
My only complaint/gripe about this experience was that the hike from our car to the actual campsite was LONGGGGGG. I’d say about .8mi-1mi of pure hiking up and down large hills/mountains, going over rocks, winding steep paths. Reallyyyy difficult to bring alot of stuff with you to the campsite. Met multiple people who turned around and abondoned their reservation just because the hike to the campsite was too long. This campsite is called “Backcountry Walk-in” and it’s very literal in that you really are taking the BACKCOUNTRY just to get to your site. Just push through and it will all be worth it in the end!
