We have been coming to this park for three years now and will continue to do our annual trip here every year. The bathrooms are kept clean and have hot water and the scenery and the fishing is great as well! We almost had the entire park to ourselves due to the weather and timing I assume. Can’t wait till next year!

Another wonderful camping and fishing trip at this park. The site we were on (B-2) was spacious and easy to back into. The showers were nearby, clean, and heated. Access to the river was easy and we caught our limit of rainbow and brown trout each day. Can’t wait for our camping and fishing trip next month.

Great campgrounds with nice atmosphere! Only complaint is the campsite had low spots that flooded in rain. Had to wade 2” of water between camper and picnic table. We had a canopy over it so we could use our griddle outside. Worked well other than wading water through the low spot. Rain happens, but it seems like the area could be leveled a little better to avoid this problem
