This is a beautiful campsite. Each site is a good distance from the next to give nice privacy along with plenty of trees for shade. I chose site #27 and it was close to the clean facilities. It was spacious enough to tie up 2 Sheppard dogs on their own long lines between trees so they could run and play but also be secure. The site managers Chris and Brittany (sp) were very helpful and welcoming. The river and the lower falls are gorgeous. I was able to find a secluded spot to tie my dogs on 100ft leashes and let them take their life vests into the river without any worry. They had plenty of room to run, splash, and play while also secured to a fallen tree on the bank. We had a great time! I will be camping here again in the future.

We had a lovely experience I have to say the camp host was amazing! I can’t remember his name but he had glasses and was super friendly and helpful. Campground was really clean and loved how close we were to the trailhead!

The campsite was spacious, the views were beautiful. It was nice knowing someone was there keeping an eye on the campsites. The water was freezing as to be expected but the rocks are extremely slimey and not the safest which is why they say go at your own risk. I wish the restrooms would have been cleaner like all the spiders and bugs inside and maybe even put a light in them so you can see what you're doing and what's around you. It was an experience I'll never forget so definitely visit one day!

We really enjoyed our stay here the weather was beautiful the water was cold but we could still swim because it was just warm enough outside. Thankfully the campground was quiet and respectful. Absolutely gorgeous place to visit. It's one of the most beautiful waterfalls I've ever seen. I do recommend bringing mosquito repellent and it would be nice if they installed either real bathrooms or better composting toilets to reduce the flies and the odor. I love the campsites because they are far enough apart spaced with trees with walking trails up and down along the river. The last five minutes of the drive of the road is not paved and it has some deep rutts, so a car with decent clearance is needed, we have a Honda CRV that made it fine, but take it slow the last bit. Highly recommend this place it's a family favorite!
