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.

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.

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
