Campground was really nice. The camping spots were very large and lots of shade. I really enjoyed the privacy. The bathhouses need a little attention the showers for the men are kind of outdated. But overall we had a good experience here. Not much cell service with Metro

Nice stay. I like being on the river side of the dam. Although, above dam the sites are really awesome with a great swimming area.

Always enjoy staying at JFK. The people friendly at check in and park rangers are constantly checking camping grounds. The campers are always friendly and very helpful if you have a issue while camping there. The showers and restrooms are usually clean for the campers. My wife is not a camper, but she prefers JFK when she goes.
