Had a wonderfully stay here. Camp sites are small and somewhat close together, as well as right on the road, but it didn’t bother us at all. Cars on the adjacent highway at night were almost nonexistent. Grounds were quite and very clean, though I had to scoop a massive amount of ash out of our fire pit. The toilets were immaculately clean despite being permanent porta-potties, and hardly had any smell.
River access is easy, though if you want to walk to it straight from your site you should choose sites 11 or higher. At the northeast end of the camp’s road there’s a small turnaround where anyone can walk to and climb down a small hill to the river banks.
Water of the Sauk is silty, but Clear Creek (joins near the road turnaround) is crystal clear. Both very cold to swim in despite us being there when it was 92 degrees out, but they say that’s healthy for you :)
Cozy little place, with a great host. Sites are clean and varied, if small. Lots of dumpsters, could probably use one at the end though.
There are few trails down to the river, most are steep and a bit overgrown. Outside of the ones at the turnaround, I found the easiest access in the turnout across from the second toilet. The sandy little ravine was dry and it made for easy crossing out towards the water.
Site 13 is the most isolated, but 12 has the best view.
