You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state is often more difficult than elsewhere, so you'd better keep in mind that lots of rivers here are not for beginners. This section is quite short so you'd better be prepared
to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. When you're paddling down a Central Sierra Nevada river like this one you always get great scenery along the way too.
