The river is a bit shallow at the campground but I am sure one could find a better spot to swim nearby.

We didn't see any wildlife but one could expect deer, elk, black bear and grizzly bear to live in these mountains. There were warnings about how to store you food and garbage at Turner Flat just up the road. Use caution here as well to avoid troubles with bear.

Packsaddle Campground

I loved Packsaddle Campground! It is very small with only 2 campsites. The driveways are paved and the sites are grassy. The river is wide and shallow here. It would be great waking up to the sound of it as it flows past the camp. The area is mountainous and covered with a mature forest. One word of warning about Packsaddle Campground, your peace may be broken often as this is a popular river access point.
