Adventure Tips
Bring mosquito repellent
The creekside and wooded areas can attract mosquitoes, especially in warmer months—natural oil repellents work best.
Be prepared for rustic facilities
This is a natural and less polished campground, so expect some basic amenities and occasional rough patches in campgrounds.
Remove silver jewelry before swimming
The mineral water is high in sulfur and can tarnish silver quickly, so leave jewelry in your gear bag.
Respect clothing-optional policies
Evening swims are adults-only and clothing-optional—attend prepared for this environment and follow all posted guidelines.
