Pine Flats Camgpround

This Forest Service Pine Flats Camgpround at road mile 27.9 serves as an alternate access point for kayakers. It skips the class III warm up rapids and puts you in at the start of The Canyon. The campground is a great base area for kayakers planning to run multiple canyon trips over the course of a few days. Sites 5, 6, and 7 have trails that access the river. It's a climb from the bench where the campsites are located down to the river (i.e. not recommended for rafts). This campground can also be used as a take-out for kayakers looking for a class II-III run that begins at Mountain View and builds in difficulty as you approach Pine Flats. A parking area for day-use is also available for those not spending the night. As an added bonus a beautiful hot spring right along the river can be enjoyed from this campground.
