Description
Nature lovers everywhere will fall in love with Yellow River State Forest’s Big Paint Campground. The flowing Yellow River runs through lush thickets of elm, cottonwood, oak, and maple, with wildlife a’plenty abounding in the nearby area, too. The park’s Backpack Trail—perfect for beginners and hiking pros alike—is particularly well-known for being an ideal way to see all that Yellow River Forest has got to offer. Campsites are shaded under canopies of trees, spacious, and RV-friendly.
