Nice accommodations but river hard to enjoy because constantly generating electricity and water high. Worst it has been in 10 years we’ve been coming.

Nice campground and a unique area. Limited hiking trails, but like the trails that were there. We were disappointed that the Damn site rec area bathrooms were all closed during our visit in early March.
Showers and bathrooms were decently heated and were fairly clean.
