We had two sights, 17 and 18. lots of shade at 18 none at 17, both were great sights right on the river, water was perfect for to play on all day. Apparently late august is the perfect time of the year up there.
We will definitely be going back.👍🏼👍🏼

Great place to disconnect from all world.
Cold nights during November! Just be warned. Otherwise, quite pleasant temperatures during the day.
The roads north to the national park or to the forests are closed due to post fire works.

Campground was clean and well-maintained. The host and maintenance people were around working on the facilities most of the time when we were there. It's great to have Johnny McNally's and the market and hamburger stand right next door in case you want to skip a day of cooking or get a drink. Ice was always available at the market to refill your coolers. Every place we went was dog-friendly including the market and the outside patios of the restaurant and burger stand. The Air Force makes runs a few hundred feet overhead a few times a day during the week, which makes for something different. An overall great place.
