When I made the reservation for Memorial Day Weekend almost 6 months in advance the site was reservation for Monday - Thursday and First Come First Serve for the weekend. When we arrived at the site on Thursday for our reservation I was told that the campground reservation had changed and was now all reservation based and all the FCFS sites were full. This was a HUGE inconvenience for my family and I who just drove 8 hours with a toddler expecting to spend the weekend on the river. We then had to pack up our entire camp after a short night and find a new place to stay during 90+ degree weather on a holiday weekend! It is completely unacceptable that no notice was given to people who already had reservations at the campsite or even a courtesy email from Recreation.gov. This experience really made me rethink all further reservations I make on this site.
All that said - the campground host was awesome and very helpful despite the awful change to the campground made by Recreation.gov.

Such an amazing place! My family and I will definitely be back. We enjoyed waking up to the sounds of the creek and birds every morning. The cars can be a little noisy but for location and everything else offered at this camp ground, the cars are easy to tune out. Camp host were awesome and the place was very pet friendly. I used to come here with my grandparents 20 years ago and it was the same beautiful place I remember.
