There was no one at the gate when we tried to check in. There was a lock on the water hydrant so we had no running water. The public bathrooms were so dirty. It looked like no one had cleaned these in months. Access to the lake was not available bc gates were up. We reserved for two nights but decided to head home after the first night. We have stayed this park before and we’re very satisfied but disappointed w this trip!

Trash service is always an issue. Bath houses were dirty and not cleaned while we were there.

The campground was littered with garbage at each campsite. They do not have any dumpsters to dump trash so the campers just leave it at the end of each site. I guess they pick it up sometime during the week.

Caught a couple fish, had some drinks, cook some real good food, overall good times. Oh yeah the atmosphere was good as well.

Nice campground with spaced out campsites, right on the river with good fishing access. We were there in March, and there was nowhere to put trash, no dumpster or receptacles anywhere. Some campsites have very unlevel pads, and some of the pads are not straight. Sites around the outer edge seemed to have better pads, more space, and more shade. Facilities were good with flush toilets and hot water, but were not kept very clean by staff (or patrons).
