We had a great stay! The river was very high so it was fun to watch it flow swiftly by. The hiking was excellent. And this was the friendliest camping we've ever done. All the campers were ready with a smile and a wave. We met some great people and made some new friends.

Very clean campground with plenty of space between campsites. Access to the river was nearby. Good hiking trails.

First, taking the showers offline due to COVID is/was an asinine idea/policy. Otherwise, the facility is nice and and the two NPS employees I encountered were friendly and knowledgeable.

We were the only ones in the campground for two of our four nights, but even with other campers all was quiet and peaceful. Bathrooms very clean but not all shower stalls were in working order nor thermostat to turn up heat when showering.
