The campground is small, probably not made for trailers, but I got my small trailer in ok. I just went down below the campgrounds and worked. The river is moving fast and there were a lot of rafters on the river and using the campground to park.

Had to work out of town for two weeks so I threw some gear in the truck for the holiday weekend , found the cliam easily, first test hole by a large rock had around a dozen color in the pan so I didn't bother trying anywhere else , a lot of black sands, I used a mini highbanker, thought i did pretty well

4 days using my grizzly sluice found a little color,all flour,and abit of fines.lots of rafters on river.water is running good but storms can change that in minutes in afternoons. places to camp can be tight ,as rafters dominate camp spots.egress point is spot-on.tons of black sand will keep your pan on work-overload. don't overlook other places in area to enjoy. please remember rattlers are in vicinity,,be safe and good luck !! would also add this ,,people have not been filling in dig holes, please folks this is a high-use area . all holes not refilled show irresponseabilty and reflect negittivity to our industry and hobbies

Worked here with my family for one short day. Nice area, found some color. Worked about 4 buckets using a flow pan, lots of mica and black sand but found about 1/2 gram total. Thank you GPAA!

Not too bad for a couple of hours of work/play Per day we were there. Think I did about 4, 1/4" classified 5 gallon buckets 3/4's full per day. Have yet to run cons. Have about 4.5 gallons of -20 cons to run on a rainy day.

Equipment used: Keene A52 small river sluice, Arbor fabricating 1/4 reinforced classifier, shovel and 3 buckets, My wife and I
