Customer Reviews
This campground was secluded and beautiful. I believe it was just about 5 miles from the maple springs loop parking lot. Once you get to where the bluffs trail splits off, it starts getting very overgrown and a bit harder to follow. My onx app was helpful keeping me on the trail. And the waterfall was running, making an easy water source close to the site.
Beautiful spot. Lots of rock cliff overhangs with waterfalls and a small cave at the campsite. There is a rock just above the cave that looks like a frog guarding the entrance. I would recommend this spot to anyone who enjoys backpack camping.
Spent a week or so there and was of the most insightful environment. Beautiful. Maybe I was born 20,000 years to late, I loved feeling like a Neanderthal cave dude. I learned to make friends with the spiders, also if planning on cooking, bring a stove, the wood is very damp due to little sunlight penetration and frequent rain. Also, feel free to pay a respectful visit a small graveyard close by to this campground.
The Bluffs is a nice, remote backcountry site. There's a nice "campground" style firepit, a nice flat tent pad and a couple decent hammock spots. There's plenty to explore directly around the site, and a waterfall just around the corner from it. The last .3 mile to it is a somewhat technical decent which means the way out requires a fairly aggressive hike accent.
This was an easy hike, though there were some blow downs along the way. My dog Charlie and I had a great time!
