Our spot , site 5 on the river was amazing it was pretty much what I would want a cabin on the river to look like. We were there only a couple of days but want to come again with friends.

This was a great campground. We enjoyed our visit. If I had to give a negative it would be the bathhouse is in the middle of the campground. So if you are on sites 1- 8 (I think) you have to go out one gate and into another to get to the showers. Just like everyone else said on the reviews there is NO cellphone service at all. Which honestly was very pleasant to be off the grid for a few days.

Best site on the River side, big deck with large picnic table & a heavy but moveable cooking stand.
Will stay here again.

The campground is pretty but the sites are tight to maneuver into if in a motorhome. Nice outdoor space with a brook running between our site and the neighbors site. It's definitely off the beaten path with narrow roads leading into the campground. No stores for several miles around so make sure you have everything you need before coming here.

The campsites are very clean with paved pads that are level from side to side. Campground hosts were efficient but not real friendly. I wish there were sewer hook ups at the sites. The campground is a considerable distance off of the Interstate and are not the best for overnight stops.

The campground is way off the beaten path so it adds a bit of time and miles if you are just passing through. We had a campsite by the river which was nice. The non river sites also looked very nice. A barge came by in the late evening which was kind of cool but loud and with bright lights. We also saw an otter swimming along the river.

Love this campground. Great views on the water and sites off water looked super nice as well. Would be nice if they had one more shower facility so you didn't have to drive or walk a long ways for access. Very quite area and , a great place to get away from it all. Would be nice though for emergencies if there was either cell service or internet . Other then that perfect. Really enjoyed our few days there.
