Cantrell campground driving directions:

If you're going South on I19make a Right Turn

If you're going North on I19 make a Left Turn

the turn off is around Dairy Queen and Quality Inn ... Look for signs to "Gorge Gateway Center" - once on that road (Laurel St) campground road is the 1st driveway on the Right. Checkin at building with a sign that says "General Store."

Heather and I are going up early to set-up camp. We will be there around noon on Friday, the 15th. Feel free to call one of us if you have any questions.
