The camp hosts were very nice and attentive, unfortunately the facilities were in pretty rough shape, two of the four bathrooms in our part of the campsite were out of commission and there was no potable water at the campsite. For $30/night I at least hope to not have to wait in line for the bathroom. Also, both times I have camped here people have not observed the ‘quiet hours’ with some camps parting late into the night and other camps making tons of nose at 6am with generators and music.

great campground. the river is so close by and kids love to play in it. please note that if you want to park your car not in the campground but in the day-use area, you need to get a pass for the day. It's $10 per day and usually solds out quickly over the weekends. Also, there is a beautiful hike in the gorge. But this is not suitable for small children as it's too long. Also can be very hot during summer days when it's sunny. So bring lots of water.

didn't like that our camping site wasn't clean, the BBQ grill was full of charcoal. also, the restrooms had no toilet paper, no hand soap, and the hand dryer was out of order

Gorge was fun to visit and swim in with our 5 year old child. Would like to return to hike up and explore more!

This site is the best site in the entire campground. It says walk to (maybe a few feet). Best views and least crowded!

This was a pleasant site. The distance from the campground to the river was difficult for the kids and RVs are not allowed to park there. There were lots of motorhomes there but neither the entrance greeter or the camp host could direct us to where to fill up our water tanks and they acted like this was the first time they had been asked that question so I found that odd. We eventually got water and had a nice time. There were lots of families with kids.

I am a swimmer so enjoyed the rock pool. It’s a shame that littering is so bad. I hiked the gorgeous gorge and cooled off at the bottom. Clean restrooms, nice sites, what more is there.
