Beautiful views and excellent river access! I stayed here for 12 nights and really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and cleanliness of the grounds. The flush bathrooms are a nice touch, and the trails down to the river are well-maintained and easy to navigate. Highly recommend for the scenery and proximity to the water!

Great Experience, but no water available to fill your RV. The water available refers to the restrooms and water fountains at the restroom building. Not a big deal, just info in case you need to refill H2O.

Sehr schöner naturbelassener Campingplatz, mit tollen Möglichkeiten zum Grillen. Keine Duschmöglichkeiten vorhanden.

Nice campground with a couple problems that need to be fixed. First is the bathrooms were completely covered in dead bugs. Thousands of dead bugs littered all over the sinks and floors. The toilet paper and hand paper were stocked up frequently but there was no effort in cleaning up the bugs during this. The second problem is most reservable sites sit empty while showing fully booked on the website. Having a site with a gazebo would’ve been nice when it was 98 degrees for days on end but instead I would say 90% of those sat empty. There should be some sort of check in process via QR code and if the reserved party doesn’t check in, they are contacted by email to see if they are still coming or not.

Nice campground with beautiful views. Nice access to and from the freeway but far enough the highway noise isn’t a big issue.
The only suggestion I would make is to have water available especially for people who don’t have an rv.

The access to register is somewhat cumbersome. I was unable to register through the website so had to download the app in order to register. With limited connectivity, it was a challenge.
