About
US Forest Service campground. Located at 1,100-foot elevation. Five campsites on the Kings Wild and Scenic River. Rafting is popular on the river, with up to Class III rapids. The region offers trails for hikers, horses, and bikes (outside the wilderness areas), wind up mountains, and alongside wild rivers. Unsuitable for trailers, no drinking water is available. Special food storage rule in effect because this is black bear country. Check current fire restrictions before venturing out. Leave no trace principals apply. Pack out what you pack in. Not reservable through Recreation.gov, so plan on first-come, first-served; check with the ranger district for current conditions and fees.
