Passing through and stayed one night. Great host that checked us in and a very quiet visit. Level paved spot next to the river. Didn't use any facilities but the area appeared well maintained.

This campground was clean but there is nothing to do but fish in the river. We stayed one night in route to another COE park.

Campground bathroom/ bath house needs to be heated in the winter. Park attendant did not inspect the site before I occupied the site. Broken glass and burnt cans and trash were in and all around the fire pit area. Previous occupants had cut several small trees and chopped on a large tree at site. Did not see the park attendant for the first few days of my stay. Park attendant never opened up the office in the 12 days that I stayed there. I did observe him drive through the park two times during my stay. It’s a very nice park. Please hire an active attendant.

Nice , secluded and lots of shade. Only downside is no phone service (C Spire) in the campground. About a mile down the road, the service was good. Other than that, the people are great, campground is very clean. I would recommend this campground to anyone traveling near or through.
