This waterfront campsite is across from the Rainbow Falls trailhead in a wooded area near a creek. There are 25 sites, 15 with hookups for RVers, and a tent-camping area for everybody sleeping in ripstop nylon. Bonus: there's a pool/gym/shower facility next door which can be used for no extra charge.
