Very nice camping area, but the river access was incredibly rocky and full of bushes.

It's an outside area near the Smith river. It's at an affordable price too. I recommend this place

Small campground of about a dozen spaces plus some day use areas. one bathroom building with no showers. each space has a table and a firepit. wonderful location at the side of the river with forest shade. overnight camping is $15. river is slow moving and easy for swimming children.

no, the county does not allow camping on the river bar. Only in designated camping sites. There are 4 sites that overlook the river bar, however.

How busy is it during winter weekends? Will I be able to find a spot on a Friday night, or is it likely to be full?

Nicole | Mar 17, 2021
Kris | Mar 18, 2021

It just depends. Even in the winter if the river is in good condition and steelhead are in it can still have visitors. Particularly weekends. Quite often we are able to find a spot. But its always good to have a few backups in mind just in case.

Is there rv hookups

Teea Ownsbey | Mar 17, 2020
BOB JARHEAD | Mar 18, 2020

There's restrooms; no showers 🚿, running water from sink faucets and toilets that ACTUALLY WORK... flushing GOOD 👍 and last time I had VISITED... paper towels to wipe hands AFTER washing; bring your own soaps, toilet paper in each stall but the camp hosts clean the restrooms daily... One for MEN and one for WOMEN. I can't address the ELECTRIC or WATER hook ups BUT Hiouchi is nearby... Chevron Market/Gas Station and across the street a place to eat... Hiouchi Cafe & north of the cafe is the Hiouchi Motel usually $80 a night 🌙 for a room...

Is there a RV park around to park a 35ft. Mh

Sandra Wright | Mar 17, 2020
Miranda Stevens | Mar 18, 2020

There is a turn around, and there was several RVs there over the times we've visited. Not sure the lengths of the RVs. The parks department is pretty informational if you call them, you might have to leave a message but they call back.

How do you go about getting firewood here ? Or is there a place near by to buy it from?

gabriell brooks | Mar 17, 2020
Keith Barnett | Mar 18, 2020

It's illegal to collect wood in the national park areas. County you can but be careful of surrounding private property. Best to buy at local stores.
