The showers need some attention in the form of cleaning and maybe a hook hung inside.

beautiful campground tended by caring hosts. weekends are crazy busy but weekdays are quiet with come and go traffic. trash pandas can be annoying and the skunks were very brave in the daylight. no mishaps but quite a surprise. welcome center very informative and rangers are helpful to answer questions. one ranger kept us from using a small car to recon our paddle trips. a high clearance vehicle was needed because of road conditions. spent a full week exploring and paddling.

The campground is very nice, cell service on verizon was great. Highly recommend a float, and we saw this cute store in Snowball, just a short drive away.

Easy access to river. Group sites have plenty of shade. Fire pits nice and big. Only 2 showers each male/female for whole campground. Too many handicapped parking spots at group sites and not enough regular spots. Overall great experience!
