Great site close to the river. Shops and restaurants are close by but the campsite still feels remote and serene, giving you the best of both worlds. Drop toilets are smellier than most but this is a great option for the price.

Camp host was great. Could be easier to call to cancel sites without 45 minute wait then they hung up for bad connection. I had 2 sites I had to leave 3 days early and couldn't cancel. They where left not used for 3 days.

The location is nice next to the river, the only part didn't like the camping location is next to the street, so if you are looking for a peace and quite 100% you may get awake in the middle of the night people driving next to your campsite. Not enough trees. I was looking for more shade... take your canopies to get shade.
