Quiet day use and camping. Camping you just show up, pick your spot and pay. No online reservations. Been a few times previously to sport fish.

The Livingstone Falls were altered by the effects of the floods of 2013. The falls have changed. The creek channel is moved about 50 yards over. We stood almost in disbelief to see the changes.
