Everything was great just wish the camp areas were spread out a little bit. We were too close to the next campers

Thirty amp breaker did not work. Had to switch to 50 with adaptor. Other than that it was a very nice place. Need more signs identifying where to go. I don’t understand the 5 fee at gate(which I didn’t pay) when I had already paid for camping spot.

Oct 26, 2023. Located in a beautiful setting along the river. We just stayed one evening but the site was level with water & electric. The bathhouse was clean. We would definitely stay here again.

Great spot at D19 with electric, but the only water faucet close by has been broken for a year and no one seems interested in fixing it. Camp hosts keep asking on scampers behalf but so far no improvements or repairs being done on it.
