Hello!

I'm itching to go camping in this great weather we're having. Does anyone know if the Richland campground is cleaned up and accessible? Thanks!

Still officially closed per the Forest Service website

There are some primitive campsites in the area near the campground bridge.

Is access still available to the campground via the north route? I've read that it's closed just a bit down from falling water falls... Thanks for the response!

Yes, still accessible from the north. Hopefully if/when the southern route is reopened, they'll reopen the campground.

The road is blocked at N35.78216 W92.93579 which is only 1.5 miles South of Richland campground. That puts it a lot closer to the campground than to Falling Water Falls. Not a big deal exactly where it is, except that it makes a difference if you're wanting to come from the South and cut over towards Witt Springs - you can still get that far North along Falling Water before you get blocked.
