Nice campground, fairly quiet, and at least our site was nicely separated from neighbors. The river across the road is a beautiful place to walk along, dip into, or hang out by. Our camp host was great, and made frequent rounds throughout the campground. Thumbs Up!

Great campsite. Had campsite 18. Which was a double, room for 12 people. But only had two spaces for tents. Assuming six people are gonna cram into each tent. We had six people total at our site. I just like to get a larger site to have more room. Site was nice and well-maintained, although it was right next to the road. In the middle of the night there were cars driving on the road and people partying across the street at the river. Next time I will get a different site. Bathrooms were very clean as most people had trailers and probably not using them! This was also Memorial Day weekend so temperatures were cold at night! River was great for fishing and lots of hiking nearby
