Very nice campground close to the river. The only downside is the dump site is outside of the park at least a mile away, maybe further

Right off the bat our water hookup had a major leak, but park maintenance got us fixed right up. We saw eagles nearly every morning - beautiful spot- so quiet & peaceful!! We hiked to the spillway- great cold and even rainy camp - loved it!!

We enjoyed the peacefulness of this area. Mother Nature decided to rain for three days straight but the river behind us was very soothing as it flowed by!!!

The hosts are always friendly and accommodating. I wish the play ground was not roped off from covid. But, you can’t help that. The playground needed to be cleaned up nonetheless. I know it’s hard to maintain everything with budget cuts and covid. Bathrooms were decent. We always enjoy coming here though. We love this place.
