Conveniently located on the Eel River. Even the campsites farthest from the river are a short walk to the river. Vary affordable.

There are two areas. The first, near check in, are first come first served sites. The second area, being closer to the river, are sites reserved online .

We stayed in the first area, drove up in a couple of trucks to a pull off, hiked down to the river, and tubed down to the campground's beach. After getting back to the campground someone with a car took the owners of the trucks back to the pull off.

The rapids where fairly easy. (*Though they may scare young children.*) We were a large group of young adults. Other then a few bruised butts, due to bolders just below the water's surface in the rapids, no one got hurt. A few people flipped over, I did not, and the only thing we lost were a pair of boots that were not tied to the the craft they were on.

I give it 4 stars rather then 5 because I was told there is no drinking water there. There are water spigots but they are not for drinking. I just brought 3 1/2 gallons of drinking water. Which I bought for just under $10 at the corner store in Potter. So not too bad.
