ไปมาช่วงสงกรานต์ มีน้ำให้เล่นทุกชั้นนะคะ แต่ก็จะไปไม่ได้สวยเท่ากับตอนน้ำเยอะ เราไปนอนเต็นท์ของอุทยานฯด้วย ราคาไม่แพง มีของให้เช่าทุกอย่าง มีศาลาทำอาหาร มีปลั๊กไฟใช้ตลอดเวลา ใครไปควรนอนสักคืนนะคะ บรรยากาศดีมาก ห้องน้ำอาบ outdoor สบายมากอยากกลับไปอีกเลยค่ะ อาหารไม่แพง เดินไปเล่นน้ำตกได้ใกล้ๆ เราไป2วัน1คืน ประทับใจมากค่ะ พนักงานน่ารักมาก😊

เป็นการเดินขึ้นไปดูน้ำตกแต่ละชั้นที่มีความสวยงามไม่เหมือนกันช่วงที่ไปคือเดือนมีนาคมสามารถลงเล่นน้ำได้เกือบทุกชั้น ปลาเยอะ เหมือนได้ว่ายน้ำกับปลาเลย แต่ต้องใส่เสื้อชูชีพ ทางอุทยานมีบริการเช่าเสื้อชูชีพ ทางเดินสะดวก บางจุดอาจจะชันหน่อย ต่างชาติจะมาที่นี่เยอะ ควรเตรียมน้ำใส่กระเป๋าเป้ไปด้วย หลังจากน้ำตกชั้นที่ 3 แล้วจะไม่มีห้องน้ำ ขาเดินลง จะรู้สึกเหนื่อยและหิว มีร้านขายของและขายอาหารติดกับลานจอดรถ สะดวกมาก เป็นอุทยานที่ไปมาแล้วหลายรอบและก็ยังประทับใจทุกครั้งและมากกว่าเดิม
