Camping Details
SPACE IS LIMITED. Camping is located at Greenwaters Park and for anyone that is in a completely self contained vehicle. There will be portable restrooms available but no water or power hookups. It is in the direct sun with plenty of hours for recharging solar systems. The area is mostly flat but leveling blocks are always a good idea to have. The site is easy to drive in and out of if you decide to drive to a trail head, one of the five rivers or numerous lakes.
The site is also near the Old Mill Disc Golf Course with 18 holes. An easy 1/2 mile walk from camp.
A bike or e-bike is an excellent way to get around town which is a total square mile radius of 2.1 miles. National Forest access is within 1/2 mile from camp.
