	Nearby 4x4 Trails:	San Jacinto Truck Trail: This road winds down past the river ending at Bee canyon. Many nice springs and shady spots along the way. Many smaller 4x4 trails branch off at various points.
	Comments:	This campsite is a sandy bank on the east side of the river. Trout is stocked a few miles upsteam, and I have seen fish in these pools but… not much and not often.
