The campground was wonderful. It was very well maintained. Our campsite did not have water but we managed without it as we were tent camping and didn’t need much water. Also our grill was broken and we had planned to use it as our only means of cooking meals. We were able to set it on the ground and use it, it did not have a bottom but we didn’t starve! Don’t let these things deter you though bcz we had such and good time and the views are amazing!!

Stayed in site #25 in a 5th wheel. Beautiful, clean and well maintained. Excellent view of river. Also went to Cossatot falls about 20 mins north. Must see!

The most shade for a campsite we have had in a long time. This would be a great camping spot for the summer days. Love the river and the hiking trails and you can catch catfish right from the bank of the river. No TV or cell service for Verizon unless you have a booster.
Park Host and Rangers are awesome people. Shower house was cleaned every day with trash pickup. Love this park.

Redbuds and dogwoods blooming along with wildflowers along the water with lush green grass was breathtaking! The campgrounds were clean and serene! The fish were biting and the mosquitoes were not!!! My favorite campground!

Great place by the river. The people that run the place were very helpful, when time for us to be there, there was confusion as to who had the sight. They found the people in our sight and worked it out. Site 10 needs lots of work 💪👷. The eagle flew by a couple of times a day!

A friend scouted this place out for us. Great choice! We spent our anniversary and only complaint was we didn't get to stay long enough! We are excited to be returning in a couple of weeks for a much longer stay. Highly recommend this diamond!
