Nice parking area and bathrooms. Easy access to the river. While the access and it's amenities deserve 5 stars be aware that there are waves of vehicle break ins that happen here at varying times of year. I was here in January and two cars were broken into. Mine was broken into the same evening at a the Woodall Shoals access on the same night. The previous wave of break ins that occurred (and there were many) were the summer of 2016. The authorities are aware of the issue and are doing everything they can. As a precaution I would suggest not leaving any thing in your car when it's parked at this access or any other access in the area. Having said that, don't let this deter you from experiencing this amazing area. The Chatooga is a southeastern whitewater classic and the National Forest it flows through has many beautiful hiking and backpacking opportunities.
