We arrived on a Thursday night & it was nice and peaceful. There were two other groups at the time & they were both respectful. Friday everything changed drastically! We came back from a float to discover two new RVs had arrived power by loud generators. At around 10pm a loud group of young adults arrived to party on the gravel bar connected to the creek. They blasted music, set pallets ablaze, and talked extremely loud until a little after 1am. They were not campers so they loudly loaded everything up, took turns reviving their truck engines, bright lighted all the tents, screamed and yelled at each other then peeled out (dramatically).
They also left a lot of trash behind near the creek bed. I was up all night due to the sound of the generators and loud party. I went here to primitive camp but I couldn’t even hear the creek flow that I was camping right by. I highly recommend going on a weekday but avoid during the weekend. We ended up leaving a day early bc it was so bad! No rule or regulations just a free for all. People were coming & going at all hours of the night.
The water on Jacks in this area is also not as nice. The water was merky & had a lot algae. This was huge difference from the the water a few mile up river (between Alley & near bridge). This is the best place to see the wild horses though. Your stay here will either be fantastic or horrible depending on who else shows up. Good luck.
