We camp here several times a year, the camp has always been clean and the hosts good. This time, the camp was sub par. The bathrooms were filthy most the time. No paper on one occasion. The fire pits were over flowing. The parking pad on D14 is breaking up and makes for a good ankle twist coming out the camper door. Not the usual conditions we find here.

We love A3!! It is quiet, right on the river, lots of personal space! Easy to pull in, pull out. Almost completely shaded! A cool breeze always blowing in from off the river. A small trail from camper to river for easy access! We caught our supper in no time. Thank you

The park offers many attractions within. The trails are wide and lead beside a beautiful creek where numerous waterfalls can be found. Our grandchildren enjoyed being able to play and we came home with some amazing memories and photographs of the area.
