Great time to be here as there were many empty sites. The fly fishing was awesome and the sites are level and spacious. Plenty of wildlife sitings in the evening especially deer.

Great camping and fishing trip. Site B-1 is one of our favorite places to camp, it is an easy site to back our camper into and it is close to the river. There are lots of birds around, especially if you put up a bird feeder or two. Deer often come down the hill behind the campsite and browse the area for acorns. The fishing was excellent, we caught several really nice eating trout while we were there. The only downside of this trip were the many turkey vultures that hung around the area. Can't wait to go back in a few weeks.

Wonderful campground! So much to do from the beautiful river to the trails and fishery. Lots of room at sites.

Beautiful sites and easy to back in. Quiet area except the sounds of the creek running into the river, awesome. The fish were making fun of me but it is a very relaxing and clean park.
