Very sweet location by the river. The walk to the Falls is short but quite nice.

A favorite camping location. Short hike across the road to the falls. River access, quiet. No cell service so a great downtime experience. Fortunately not smoky. Clean vault toilets.

We were able to get a campsite next to the river and enjoyed listening to it and wading in it. In addition, the campground is just across the street from Falls Creek and the falls and we enjoyed walks to the falls each evening. The bathrooms were clean and pleasant and the campsite had a picnic table and fire ring. We really enjoyed our several days there.

Beautiful quiet campground along the creek. Close enough to the town of Winthrop that you can head in for some civilization if you care to. One of the few USFS campgrounds open in the area in October. Also a great hike across the street that can be an easy stroll to the lower fall or a more challenging climb to the top to encounter the upper 3 falls.
