Beautiful park! I picked the wrong site that had no water hookup, but that's on me. It was so nice and cool, and loved being able to hear the rush of the river water. The hists were especially nice.

This is our favorite place to camp and fish for rainbow trout. We've been coming to JFK Park for years and will continue to do so for as long as we can. We always stay in section D. The campsite are large and there is space between so you're not right on top of each other. They have water and electric. The shower/bathroom facilities are adequate and cleaned daily. The scenery and wild life is breathtaking! There are several sets of stairs that make accessing the river easy. Cannot wait to come back!!

Very beautiful park. Restrooms were nice and clean. Only downside was we camped at site A4 and every morning people parked in front of our site and walked through the middle of our campsite to get down to the river to fish.

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
