So beautiful. Nice clean pit toilets. Informative signage. Limit 5 nights. Can't wait to go back.
Very small well traveled camp area. It is located right next to the entrance to tongue river canyon and next to the river, which makes it very convenient if you are planning a day hike or fishing, but you will not be secluded in this area and will have neighbors and passers by. There are fire enclosures, some picnic tables and an outhouse to use.
We found this place as a last minute stop and it was perfect. Absolutely beautiful area hidden in the beginning of the mountains with a deliciously cool river. It is FREE which only makes this place better. Absolutely recommend staying here. If we had time, we would have stayed another night to enjoy the area more!
It's the typical 5 day free primitive camping area with eight sites and a vaultroom. No trash or water. The usual menagerie of outdoor bugs. There are no picnic tables for your dining comfort. And a couple of sites do not have a fire pit for roasting your marshmallows. Cell service is commendable for a canyon. A narrow one lane road continues down to some trails. Two sites are closer to the water but the sand flies look bothersome. An unexpected blustery wind came through around midnight and blew tree branches down and around. A consideration if your in a tent. It is bear and mt. lion country, so pack it up.
