About
US Forest Service campground. Nestled in the Little River valley, Coolwater Campground offers both a contemplative forest setting with easy access to outdoor recreation. Many visitors come to fish, swim, and spend a relaxing weekend entirely at camp at one of seven available campsites. Others come to take advantage of Coolwater 's proximity to Grotto Falls and nearby Taft and Lookout mountains. Not reservable through Recreation.gov, so plan on first-come, first-served; check with the ranger district for current conditions and fees.
