🔥 Cold Nights, Warm Fires, and Relaxing Soaks🔥
There’s nothing quite like gathering around a crackling campfire on a chilly evening.
🌲 And when the fire dies down, sink into the hot tub to soak away the cold and unwind under the starry sky. It’s the perfect end to a cozy night in the great outdoors!

Choose from our three unique cabins

11/20. As a result of the changes caused by a big flood, the most recent rain event (Monday), and the subsequent rise of the river further damaged the parking area at Ponca. As of today there is no longer any vehicle access to the low water bridge and the river right put-in.

11/12. Kyles Landing and BRT/bushwhack to Indian Creek crossing.

🔸Road to Kyles Landing is in similar shape as it was before the recent rain events.
🔸There is a major damage to the road in the campground (near the river access). It is possible to launch a boat, but, high clearance is preferable.
🔸Campground is open but there are some campsites damaged by flood.
🔸BRT following the river toward Steel Creek and Indian Creek is doable but woods are a mess.
🔸Gray Rock is at play again with the quite narrow opening at the current water level (see video below).
🔸The last section of road to Camp Orr/Twin Falls is very rough.
