Great location. Right next to the river which cools off the area a little bit. Will definitely be back.

Lovely setting. Great location. Camp Hostess Candace was friendly and helpful. She was always working to keep the campgrounds clean and safe.

The site was nice, but the restroom by our site was closed for repair.

I was in site 29 and went on my first solo car camping trip. It was great! The camp host was very nice and the grounds were clean. This site is close to the river and has a small trail from the campsite down to the creek that runs behind it. I spent a good chunk of my day there due to limited shade and high temps during my trip. I would definitely recommend packing some kind of pop up shade. My only complaint is the location of the bear box, it is directly in the afternoon sun for several hours and turns into an oven. Make sure to either pack/get extra ice or check in with the host to ask about bear activity in the area. Thankfully they hadn’t started coming down yet so I just kept my cooler next to me in the shade in the afternoon. Otherwise a great trip! Quiet and peaceful.

the campsite is relatively small so the sites are pretty close to each other. site 24 was flat, decently sized and close to the bathrooms. across the opposing sites is the river which is soooo beautiful. you can hear the water running at night which is nice. the camp host is also super friendly and helpful!

The camp hosts were great! Sight unseen, I had reserved a campsite which turned out to be right next to the highway. No problem, they let me walk the campground and choose any alternative site that didn't have a reserved sign on it. Everything was clean, the toilets had plenty of t.p., and I highly recommend this campground , as long as you don't have to pitch your tent right next to the highway.
