Site 7 on the river was level and had a lovely view. Friendly staff and clean park. It’s far from everything, which is nice for a quiet stay. We enjoy the birdwatching here too!

Very nice. Would be great if there was sewer hookup. But great for a couple days stay. Nice setup pads

I occupied a site that was already reserved. There was no indication of that and no mention that reservations are required. Everything worked out, but it was awkward and slightly embarrassing.
