No cell service and no Ranger coverage nearly lead to a tragedy as the river rose rapidly on our second night. Our group, 6 guys, barely got out before being swept away at 2 am. All good, but could have been bad.

The scenery is gorgeous. The campsite was clean, spacious, and situated well. We had a wonderful experience and can’t wait to visit again.

The trip was lovely even though it rained almost the whole week. My only advice for the rain is bring some extra tarps or mats to lay over the mud pits that form around the tables and stop peeing in the creek because in the rain it gets gross! 100 feet people!!

Beautiful campground with a secret swimming hole! It was perfect to cool down in the river after a day of hiking. The staff were extremely friendly and even shared their firewood with us!
