Very nice campground. We camped in early December, so it was quiet. All camp sites are large and most are level. We camped on site 26, close to the bath house which was clean with showers still operating in the off season. We will be going back.

The dead tree which is positioned to fall on an Rv at site is still standing. I’ve asked multiple times this year to get it removed. It’s dangerous.

Although we only stayed one night, we were very impressed by this campground. We spoke with the campground host and he was very helpful. The bathroom and showers were clean. The water in the river was shallow and clear our first day there. Around 7 am the next day a loud horn went off, signaling that they were going to be releasing water from the dam. Not long thereafter the water was released and the levels in the river went up about 6 feet. It came nowhere near any of the campsites so that is not a concern. We just found it pretty amazing. There are signs warning people to exit the water when that horn sounds, though. Best to heed those signs.

Park and Campground were clean. Met shortly after arrival by camp attendant/host to "check us in" and give us mirror hangers. Little disappointed that 4 bathroom unit at that campground had 3 locked. The only water source to fill holding tanks was at a trickle. Took 3 times as long as usual to fill holding tank. Access to dam overlooked locked. No trash receptacle to place trash , however we were told to leave at post. Overall, great trip over Thanksgiving!
