We had a great time and it is a very nice stargazing spot. The host gave us plenty of directions on how to get there and it was a wonderful experience

Stargazing
The campsite was great! It was very beautiful being near the river & seeing all the beautiful trees. We went in October. It was mostly grass. Stars were so beautiful. We go in at night so it was a little confusing to get in. The GPS took us to the wrong road however we drove a little further south & found the road that had the riverwood sign. Directions to the spot was a little confusing at night. Be careful not to follow the road into the river 😆 instead we had to the left & go a little further than we would have thought. Knew we were in the right spot because host left a bin with firewood & some water. It ended up raining but Davidson came to check on us & chat. He was very nice. He left a walkie talkie for emergencies as there is not really service. We drove 30 mins south to the warm springs pool & hot springs town with a main st. We also went to Cascade Gorge, which was very beautiful.

Davidson’s property right on the Jackson river was beautiful and serene. Tucked into the mountains of highland county, the trout fishing was excellent and Davidson was a great host. Brought us firewood and drinking water and gave out plenty of recommendations. I would love to come here again.

Serene spot right on the beautiful Jackson River with magnificent stargazing with plenty of privacy. Add to that hosts that made sure I was set up and then respected my privacy and no cell service at all and you have a recipe for relaxation. I already have it on my return list. Only caveats are limited afternoon shade options, about 15 minutes to limited basic goods and services. And really, no cell service but that can be a plus too.
