Great little primitive camp site for floating the Green River. As advertised, this is where the trail from Little Hole ends. Be prepared because any support you receive past here is likely because it was arranged and prepared by you yourself!
Fun campsite where you can hike up to a cliff overlooking the river. We saw a lot of beavers! There are places for two tents, but the rest of the campsite is very sloped (eg it was a little uncomfortable around the fire pit). The number of ants was INSANE... I'm not sure if all the campsites have that problem. There is another campsite across the river so you might have neighbors within easy earshot. Luckily ours were courteous and turned off their music at sunset.
