It was a beautiful campground with tons of wildlife. No cell service so I figured out how to use the satellite connection to send and receive messages on my phone. I definitely plan to go back there.

Stayed 2 nights at site 15.
Pros: Well maintained with adequate ground room for multiple tents and parking up to 4 vehicles. Camp managers drove by every so often and you can purchase firewood from them for $10/bundle. River was running and very refreshing.
Cons: Noisy neighbors, restrooms were under renovation (expect to use porta-pottys).

Always a great time here. Easy to access. It was great when we were able to park inside the camp circle, but it's not bad as there's also designated parking spots also. River hike is great. Go in the summer or early fall at the latest for the river hike. Vault toilets stink so I usually use the flushing toilets at the family sites just a short walk up to.

We stayed for a weekend in mid-October, the weather was great, and the campsite and river were not crowded. Started with a hike up the gorge road then spent the rest of the day on the day use river area. The bathrooms were in great shape.

Poor wayfinding signage in the campground, and sites had a lot of trash in them. Toilets werent maintained. Location is beautiful, disappointing its so poorly run and so expensive.

Great place to camp, there was only 2 other campers in the park, almost no bugs, lots of wildlife, deer, rabbits, squirrels, and a bunch of different kinds of birds. We had a great time and are definitely going back.

Restrooms and showers closed. Plumbing problems. Large dusty campsites. Quiet at night.

Good hospitality on behalf of the staff. I felt like their presence was just enough to feel safe and secure. The camp sites are beautiful and it’s nice to see so many families enjoying this gorgeous gem of an area. A little over 2 miles from the camp site is the gorge - absolutely gorgeous clear crisp water that you can jump and sunbathe in.

We had the entire campground to ourselves! Very clean except for the bathroom facilities…we had a great time and can’t wait to go back!
