Cool little adventure and campsite if you know what you’re getting yourself into in terms of the backcountry. It’s a closed/abandoned small backcountry campsite so obviously don’t expect any campsite amenities whatsoever. It’s overgrown in general but the trail is quite obvious, though I may not have attempted if I didn’t have a GPS device to help. We took a trail off of the 2 (right across the road from “old dark canyon trail) and followed down the canyon until we met up with Dark Canyon Trail which led us directly to Oakwild Campground, just shy of 2 miles total one way. From this route, there were incredibly steep and very shoddy loose dirt switchbacks to get down and up from the 2. Doable, but not for the beginner or the faint of heart. It was hard going down and hard coming back up + a little sketchy depending on your risk aversion levels. If you have your setup ready for backcountry camping this was a cool overnight backcountry trek. Plenty of flowing river water along the way as of 9/27/24.

Only a few flat areas left, some with half-buried tables. The river is nearby and very serene. Still nice area to camp if you have no expectations of facilities.

PERMANENTLY CLOSED - only a few ruins are left. Don't expect to camp here but you might see some deer.

Not a CAMPGROUND but a TRAIL camp(hike in only). Please make sure you mention it on the website to avoid to be deceived!
