Briefly about the general area:
There are some nice whitewater spots on Piru Creek; Fish Creek is one of the streams close by that might be worth visiting. So many amusing things to do at Gillette Mine Trail, so little time. If you came to camp Sawmill Campground is a fine spot to do that; whitewater paddling
is not for everyone but if it's for you then, we recommend Piru Creek.
And if that's not sufficient there's lots more amusing things to do in the Sierra Madre. Oak Flat is a splendid place to check out, and a magnificent place close by is North Fork Fish Canyon. There's so
much to do here at Gillette Mine Trail that you need to camp here for a while, Atmore Meadows Campground is a glorious place for that, and there's some flowing water close by, Salt Creek is a stream you can visit while here. Now, you may assume that's a heap but there's even more
exciting things to do here in the Sierra Madre.
A visit to Cienaga Spring will fill your spirit with brilliant feelings, and Atmore Meadows is a pretty place any time of year.
