Recreation

Rafting, swimming and kayaking are favorite activities on the river. Rafters will find class I-III rapids further down the river. Catch-and-release cutthroat trout fishing is also popular.

Visitors also enjoy explore the river valley on foot to see nearby Downey Creek or Valitons Creek.

Site 6 is secluded and gorgeous. Close to the bathroom with a trail to the river. Our camp host Sunny was a real life saver when we ran our truck battery dead! All around great time.

The camp host was great. He came and visited for a bit. He kept the bathroom and grounds very clean. We are staying again next year.

Beautiful area and it is well maintained. I don't recommend the lot we had, it was #16 or 17. It was short on space and privacy, right across from the camp host. Overall though, I highly recommend the camp grounds. Go for number 6 or seven, down by the river though.

Host was not the friendliest. Noisy with many generators going.
