Beautiful location with tightly packed campsites

Although the camping area is small it more than makes up for it in the walk in sites space and the beauty of the waterfalls. 

This is a typical state park that works for all types of camping. There are pull-through sites for RVs, tent sites, and walk-in sites that are more spaced apart. 

The bathrooms are well maintained and the campsites are great for all types of tents. Keep in mind that the main attraction of the park is the falls so there will be traffic all day heading out to the trailhead to visit the falls. 

The sites are tightly packed together and typically booked months out. I got really lucky and snagged one of the walk-in sites that didn't show due to rain. 

The parking area is small to keep the trails uncluttered but there are still plenty of people that are fishing, hiking, and playing in the caves. 

Because of the rain, I was the only one on the trails when I headed out around 8 am. The parking lot was empty and I was able to sit and enjoy the falls solo. By the time I left the trail the lot was packed and there were lots of fisherman and kiddos heading out to hit the beaver trail for secret fishing spots.
