This is always a great place to camp. The river is beautiful and the trails are for anyone. The hostess was on site so I felt like if I needed anything I could go and ask.

Nice smaller park. We stayed in C loop and it was an easy walk to fishing. We couldn't access the water easy or see it from our site even though it was water front (C4). the best water views are on B loop. Bathrooms were pretty clean. There is plenty of fishing down the river outside of the park that may be better or worse depending on the day. We caught 1 trout at the park but caught 3 at The Swinging Bridge a few miles below the park. Be sure to ask others what bait is working that day.
