Water has a great flow and sound. Very relaxing. Would be so nice in the summer. Easy to get to and feels much further out than it is. I enjoyed my short stay. Thanks for sharing!

This spot was awesome! Big space with tons of water. Please don’t go, we want to keep it to ourselves!

Convenient and Beautiful Spot
Tent
The giant rocks out-reaching into the large creek at this large, river-like creek may it a great spot to sit with the tranquility of the flowing water.
With a picnic table, a fire pit (my favorite part of camping), and plenty of room made this one of our favorite camping trips, yet.

My family and I had a wonderful time at this site! Great swimming hole and fun for the kids, also very secluded as well. I would highly recommend visiting this lot.
