Tire Eddy Campsite
The Tire Eddy Campsite offers a wide range of amenities for campers, including picnic tables, fire rings, and access to drinking water. The campground is a first-come, first-serve location, and there are 13 campsites available for use.
One interesting fact about the Tire Eddy Campsite is that it is named after a unique geological feature in the area. A "tire eddy" is a swirling pool of water that is created by the river's current flowing around rocks and other obstacles.
The best time to visit the Tire Eddy Campsite is during the summer months, from June through August. During this time, temperatures are typically warm and comfortable, with average highs in the mid-80s Fahrenheit. Visitors should be prepared for occasional thunderstorms and rain showers, however, as the area is prone to summer storms.
