Very quiet atmosphere, other campers are always friendly. Great place to relax especially with kids. Cute little playground and creek & you can walk up to a small waterfall.

Our campsite was very nice. It would be nice if there was a place for kids to ride their bikes and play instead of in the road though, I had to come to an complete stop because 3 little girls were laying in the road. Ages ranging from 2 to 4, where are the parents?? It is like folks just go camping and let their kids go crazy. But the park is a nice place to stay.

D loop has less traffic since it is in the back. Stairs next to campsite to access river. Site reasonably close to the bathroom. We love D loop!

Camping experience was good, however, fishing was terrible because of constant generation from the dam which was a huge disappointment.

Great park but if you want to fish the river make sure you have a backup plan. The generation chart isn’t reliable. Other than that it’s beautiful there.
