We camped at a group site. The giant fire pit was the most impressive. Something different than other campgrounds was that the park attendant nor park rangers came directly to our campsite. I found that kinda odd that they didn't make at least one visit during our 3 nights there. Enjoyed time with family under the stars and by the campfire.

Beautiful spot and easy for river launch access. Stayed during the week and the campground was almost empty. A delightful experience.

I was was just okay this year. I went last year and it was much better. They really need to clean up the rotten trees and brush in this campsite especially. While we were there, a tree had fallen, luckily towards the river. The showers were closed due to covid, so it was kind of miserable at night not having some relief of a cool shower. Overall, its a great place to stay. It Just really needs a manicure on several trees and brush.

It was a beautiful day the outside pavilion was just amazing. I got married there. If I could do it again I would. Thank you so much for allowing me to reserve it last year. My friend got some good pictures there. It was breathtaking!!

Great campground...but it was spoiled a lot bc campers kept us up late due to noise BOTH nights. We were trying to be considerate to our neighbors... and talked softly bc the noise carried across the tent sites. We left early due to this. Please be considerate of others!
(Watch out for skunks! One visited us at night! )
