We had a place on the river. There is a pump alarm that was going off all the time, when we asked they said it always goes off. The bathrooms have warm water. There is no wifi in that area. We were able to check out some horse shoes and play a game. We were told to watch out as their are snakes near the river, but I never saw any.

We loved our favorite campsite. The park was quiet with the storms coming. Nice hot water in the showers. We enjoyed our stay.

We arrived after dark and the signage was terrible, we found the next day they were hard to see even in the daylight, faded almost to the point you couldn't read them. Our spot #14 was great, level and next to the river with large trees surrounding the site, the sites are well space with plenty of room. The only real draw back was the lack of cell reception, we have AT&T and we had no signal, so no internet for the TV and we also tried to use the digital antenna and that was useless also. If you are looking for a quite spot unconnected from everything this is a beautiful location.
