Beautiful spot to be this fall. Sites 80-90s are placed well on wider parts of the river, though a number are about 20-35' above the water with descents that are too steep to walk or climb down easily (be careful in the middle of the night of falling off a ledge!). We put our kayaks in at another spot down the road, paddled about 25 minutes to our site, and docked them there, where we could just scramble up and down for access. Definitely not ideal for swimming, though you can make it work if you're needy like me. We would have liked to get water to boil/filter from the river, but carrying it up and down was not really feasible. Ground is soft for tents and bare feet. Decent tree spacing for hammocks, plenty of wood for fires if you have a saw.
