Campsite38 viewsThis shows the basic campsite. The other 7 sites to the north had trees. This one had a nice view southward and no trees nearby. The trees in the picture are on the opposite back of the river just beyond the tent. The river is about 50 yards wide at the point, about 15 feet below the level of the campsite.
