Rainbow Campground was repaired in the years following the Riverside Fire. Most of its trees will take years to grow back, but many of its amenities are newly replaced. There's not much shade yet, so a pop-up canopy might be handy.

This campground & adjacent trail are  within the burn scar of the Riverside Fire. Be careful in burned areasWatch out for burned trees, eroded slopes, mudslides, missing trails, or possible flash floods.
