We stayed here last summer. The gorge is absolutely breathtaking! Unlike anything I've ever seen before. I highly recommend getting up early in the morning and hiking it before the crowds show up.
I vaguely remember there being a shuttle that could take you from the campground office down to the town. And by 'down', I mean down! The campground is up a very steep hill from town and they don't allow bikes up or down it. I'd suggest calling the campground office directly and ask them about getting into town without a car and confirming that shuttle. We had a car, so I didn't pay attention that close.
The pool is also down this steep hill and worth going to if it's hot.
And speaking of that steep hill. There's a back way to the campground that comes in further south of the city and takes a much more gradual climb. I'd suggest taking some time and mapping your route, don't take Old Corning Rd that connects to 14 by Glenn Creek. It looks much more direct on paper, but is challenging to get up.
