Absolutely love this park and all the history surrounding it. We have camped there 2 times now and the trains are not a bother to us. They’re trains, there is a visible train bridge, not sure why you would expect it to be a quiet train running across but 🤷🏻♀️ We took the Jesse James cave pontoon ride and it was jam packed of great scenery and information. The guy that hosts is a native to the area and has lots of history and jokes to keep you looking and laughing. Devils Gulch is worth the walk when visiting! The town of Garretson has a small strip with a store for ice and forgotten goodies. Can’t wait to kayak next time we go. The scenery is amazing and the wildlife is beautiful. Highly recommend for a short visit or overnight camp. Bathrooms are very clean and stocked.
Amazing camp host and beautiful flowing river. The trails are awesome and very scenic. Just remember to bring water or water purifiers because there is no water spout or well. It is just the river. Also it is bear-country so bring bear spray.
Great place to kayak. Go east under bridge to paddle a bit into Devils Gulch. North up creek to first rapids is about 1 mile. Easy paddle.
