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.
