Beware of site 17! This Site was flooded upon arrival. They were upgrading the group facility and it looked like they rutted up all around the site causing poor drainage. Even had ruts from where they parked some of their heavy equipment in the camper space. Also, I could hardly squeeze my 22’ bumper pull travel trailer in and out of that space because of the trees and layout. I can’t remember what the max length on the website states but it’s probably around double. No way! This was Memorial Day weekend so there was no available sites anywhere else. We tried sticking out there for the kids but it rained again that night and when we woke up the whole campsite looked like a lake. Packed it up and stopped at the host shack to tell him what was going on. He told us to fill out a form for request for refund. Still haven’t heard from anyone. We stay here all the time and have even stayed once since then. The last time we stayed we seen someone with a 30’ fifth wheel try to back into this site and scraped the entire side of trailer. They had to call and pay someone with a flatbed to back it in and out for them. I’m just giving this site one star hoping someone else will see this and not make the same mistake we made.

We love the cossottot reefs it’s so relaxing shaded with cool river water and friendly staff. No cell phone service forces you to focus on nature and relax. Exploring the many trails teaming with wildlife is a great way to pass the time. I personally like the massages given by the river while sitting in the rapids It’s one of our very favorite places and many memories have been built there for over 25 years. Now our grandkids are enjoying it with us

Very beautiful & peaceful. All new asphalt pads. Could’ve used some fall clean up but other than that, it was a very nice place to do some winter camping.

As far as cleanliness it was good. The grass was pretty high and i got chiggers and ticks on me. Completely ate up with chiggers and ticks and my dogs also got them. Being a holiday weekend and that the ground wasnt wet i don’t understand why the grass wasnt cut. Would hope if i ever go again that they spray for ticks cause that was horrible.
