One of my favorite campgrounds so far. The hike in is decently challenging but not too difficult. The campsites along the creek have the most amazing views of the falls. The falls themselves are breathtakingly beautiful and worth sitting and taking in for hours at a time. If you have time definitely go up to the lake! The rock wall scramble is fun and exhilarating and the views at the top are incredible and worth the effort.

A great camp ground that is approximately 8km in from the trail head. The camp grounds are well spaced apart and 3 of them back right onto the river. The falls are just closes enough to help you fall asleep with out being to loud. There are two communal fire pits and 8 large size bear locker bins. The outhouse is pretty standard, remember to bring your own hand sanitizer and toilet paper.

Did this for our first back packing trip and it was fantastic. The hike to the falls is absolutely beautiful. It’s about 11k or so and pretty easy terrain I’d say. We spent our first night by the falls and loved it. Second night we climbed to the lake, which I can definitely say was a bit difficult ( bring climbing gloves for the chain) but was well worth it! However the camp sites by the lake weren’t what I was expecting. Too busy and not enough privacy. But the overall trip was excellent.

I LOVED the ropes up the cliffs ! Amazing waterfall!!!! and the campground at the falls was really well taken care of!!!! I would recommend leaving your overnight gear at the falls campground while you hike the chains up the cliffs to the lake!

Beautiful waterfalls all the way up to the main one. The trail was fairly easy. It does get a bit more difficult as you approach the ends.

Long walk around 8 kilometers oneway.Not much of an elevation gain. There is a washroom and Firewood available.Worth the hike.

Never had a bad experience going here. Always friendly people at the community fire.
Awesome having food lockers, outhouses and seats at the fire.

Esta zona de acampada está a 10km desde el aparcamiento, con una subida casi continua y agradable, no está empinada y va cerca del río. No es difícil.
Hay 8 plazas para tiendas de campaña, más o menos separadas y ocultas entre la vegetación. Una zona de fuego comun con taquillas anti-osos para la comida para cada plaza, 3 mesas y leña (y un hacha) que está al aire libre (si llueve estará mojada), también hay un wc pequeño, tamaño cabina (no quedaba papel cuando fuimos, pero por lo general siempre hay en todos los puntos que hemos ido)
Dormirás escuchando el rugido de la cascada y el silencio de la naturaleza que te rodea.

Great spot. But no wood provided like they advertise. The hike up to the lake is fun. Glad I left my heavy pack at the falls campground.

A great backcountry campground, some of the sites are better located than others, and there are more sites than bear bins, so it's entirely possible to not have anywhere to store your food. There are two fire pits with benches around them, and they usually leave a pile of wood and an old bent axe made entirely out of metal to split it with. Backcountry permits are required and rangers do come out to check. Not exactly a hidden gem as it is really popular and busy.

Great camp sites, easy hike, but they need to do something about that little ghost girl that roams the grounds at night.

Easy hike but boring. Also you can't get to the end easily right now cuz there's an avalanche Area.
