Cute campsite, you can hear the river from the campsite. Campsite staff were friendly and there was a great hike nearby. A little road noise but it was not well traveled at night so it was easy to sleep. Cleanest pit toilets ive ever seen.

Would like to stay there again.

My experience here was great overall, especially if you enjoy being outdoors and relaxing by the river. One thing I highly recommend is bringing water shoes because the river has a lot of rocks and uneven spots that can be slippery without them. They made it much easier and more comfortable to walk around in the water.
The scenery is beautiful, and the river area is definitely a must-see if you visit. It’s a great place to cool off, relax, and spend time with family or friends. If you plan on staying into the evening or camping, firewood is available for purchase on-site, which was really convenient and saved us from having to bring our own.
Overall, it’s a fun and peaceful spot for a weekend trip or day getaway. Just come prepared for the river conditions and you’ll have a great time.

This is a great little campground, with beautiful creekside areas. Unfortunately it is just right on the street and gets that noise 24/7.

Great camping spot! Very quaint and refreshing, the camp sites are nice. The creek is just a stone's throw away. It feels secluded despite being right next to the highway, which is definitely a plus. There are public bathrooms thankfully, but unfortunately there are no sinks, which isn't ideal but also isn't the end of the world. I loved that firewood and drinking water are also provided if needed.
