We arrived on Thursday left on Monday. The bathrooms are horrible. They were not cleaned the entire time we were there. They also need some repairs made. This is an important of choosing a camp site. It is a serious problem that needs to be addressed.

The bugs were absolutely horrible. The bathrooms smelled clean but were not actually cleaned. No toilet paper. The bathroom faucet was not properly fastened to the sink so it was wobbling all over the place. Will not be going back here.

This was a gem! We stayed at Cassatot Reefs, Site 25. Was perfect for tethering our dogs for a little room to roam and for access down to the river. The river was never crowded, took our camp chairs and just hung out for hours. Beautiful stay and will definitely go back.

The park is very clean and well maintained. I scored it a four because we use a tent for camping and the tent sites are paved for RV's which makes it hard to secure a tent down with stakes; the only spot to put a tent up was on a slope. We figured out how to make it work and had a wonderful time.
