It was a very cool place to camp and for the fishers. Only thing lacking was the swimming. Other than that it was quiet, peaceful, nice playground also. Will go again.

We have stayed here 5 times. We stay here on our way to Florida. The park is quiet and peaceful. We enjoy coming here every year. It’s usually in the summer and the bath house is usually really hot, not air conditioned. Ranger drives through regularly. We stay at site 22 at the very end of the campground right along the river.

Good solid stay. The campsite had been recently mowed and only had a little high grass. Bathhouse was typical campground clean. 1-3 bars of signal on AT&T.
