Nice place with nurture view

The place was nice beautiful for the kids to play in the water. The only thing I didn't like was how narrow the road is omg my hands were sweating 😅! Then you have to park your car near the edge very scary. You want a good parking spot you have to come early to this place. Didn't see any snakes, leeches or squirrels. Did see a few fishes around. If you bring food take your trash with you try to keep these rivers clean for everyone else to use. Also, if you smoke try to go away from others specially when there are kids around, be kind and have the courtesy for others don't be a jack! When it's the time of heat come prepared it can get pretty warm.

Fishing I saw small bass and chub or pike minnow I'm not really sure. Swimming very nice temp a little warmer then most rivers around this area. Gold panning color in almost every pan. Camping very multi cultural so that's nice. Three park rangers for 15 or so campsites. And don't forget day use too. What more could you want?

Call the park rangers for the county you want to camp in and they will give you open parks, which parks are closed, pricing, if reservations are required or if they are first come first serve. Mineral Bar is a first come first serve no reservation campground that is well maintained and visited by Park rangers at least twice a day. Special note: Bathrooms are super clean But there are NO sinks or water faucets on the campground. You beed to bring your cleaning and cooking water. Happy Camping!

sou saeteurn | Sep 23, 2020

Was there last weekend so probably yes. But I dont recommend it due to no camp fires allowed. A day trip would be better and parking is hard to come by even early morning around 6.
