Campground Description

Accessible camping with conveniently located composting toilets (no smell). Paved road to camp, except for 1/2 mile of gravel, gravel is a mile short of the campground, use caution when getting close. Paved sites among large fir tree on gently slopping ground. Easy RV parking. Accessible trails to picturesque falls. The calm water in the river looks deceivingly safe just above the huge falls. The trails go right along dangerous cliffs. Day use fee of $5.00.
