Beautiful, clean campground along the river with level, nicely spaced campsites and some walking trails. Every campsite had a sturdy picnic table, grill and small utility table. Next time we stay we'll try to get a site along the river where they have a little deck overlooking the water.

This was a truly amazing experience. The park was very neat and well maintained. Our host, Dwight, came right over to our site as we pulled up an blew away the leaves before we parked the trailer. He was was working at another site and went out of his way to accommodate us. He was very helpful in telling where things were locally (laundromat, good eating places and attractions). Our site (#27) was really nice and we learned that it was one of Dwight's favorites. The cell service had a strong signal and we pulled in several channels from our trailer antenna. The restrooms and showers were neat & clean and in great condition. The park is well laid out, offering very private sites with concrete pads. each site had a picnic area with a sturdy table, BBQ grill, firepit and lantern post. We hope to return again.

For those that want to walk a trail but need level ground, Deerlick Creek has a paved very easy one mile (or less) trail that winds among the trees. Showers were very clean and had so much pressure. Our site was very clean with the leaves blown off too (hard to do when leaves are continually falling). Very quite, peaceful, with beautiful scenery. Sit on one of two docks and watch the water activities (barges, a fisherman here or there, or the sunrise/sunset). If you like geocaching, there are over 50 within a couple miles of the park, spaced about 500 feet apart. Visit Holt Dam, after geocaching. I understand that there is a waterfall nearby, but we will have to save that for next time. Very nice campground!!
