Is there free camping ?
Yes
Check at the top of the hill next to Stewart's shop. Believe it is there.
The upper gorge trail is well traveled. It's easy to find the trail head near the rest rooms and snack machines. Wear sturdy boots.
Make sure to check out the lower falls
Yes there are. A great one leading to the falls. Many trails along the roadway heading there as well
