Thayer Campground

2 flat-ish spots and 2 others spots. Some people camped in the day use area which is flat but not meant for it. Trains are loud and some nights come every 2 hours. Being right by a crossing they blast their horn right next to the camp. Also a good deal of noise from local resident dogs and roosters.

Pros: Beautiful area, very remote, near the water, boat launch, picnic tables. Cons: A little trashy, overgrown, loud dogs, people on four-wheelers and loud vehicles all hours of the night acting like fools.

Camped at Thayer campground last summer. Very private. No one else was at the sight. Campground is 1st come 1st serve so it is a long drive to chance not getting q site.

It is such a cool, remote area. The river is beautiful and there is a small map in a visitor stand that shows where you are. If you take McAfee Rd, exercise extreme caution in a vehicle. There are sharp drop offs, cliffs, mud, potholes, and it is one lane but open for two lane traffic. It still made for a beautiful drive.

Let me be honest with this site - it’s about a 20 min long curvy road to get to this spot. There’s only 4 walk in sites available. Place looks a little sketchy and ghetto. There’s one site next to the river and the other 3 sites were behind it. Very secluded if you don’t want a lot of people near by. But not close to any trails or anything in general. And the bathroom is a porter potty no showers.
