The park was beautiful our spots were ready when we arrived, it had been very cold so the park attendant had to make sure our water hook-up was ready to go before we got there. The fishing was great. The walking trails were also very nice.

This campground is very impressive. The sites are clean and also pretty big. The restroom/showers were kept clean for the duration of our stay. I recommend this to anyone.

Nice, level campsite, with large shade trees, partial river views, and great walking trails.
The gate attendants are really nice and informative.
