The water faucet needs to be fixed. Had to hook into spot next to us for water. Beautiful location and clean.

Most of the prime reservations at this park are booked up year round but most reservations don’t show up. Thanks to this app you almost can’t get a decent spot unless you book 6 months in advance.

We had a great time at JFK the views of the river were spectacular. The personnel at the office helped us out and allowed us to change our reservation to a different site at the last minute and it greatly enhanced our experience. Great campground at a great price.

Very nice campground and we had a good trip, but that place has a real buzzard problem. Hundreds of them sitting in the trees and the campsites, some sites were just nasty with feces. It is for this reason that we will not return to JFK until this problem is solved.

Peaceful, quite, and nature all around with activities such as hiking, fishing, or visiting the JFK memorial site.
