No services at all, and overpriced. Also, if you want to hike, they will charge you an ADDITIONAL fee to park at any nearby trailhead. Finally, the campground sits right next to the concessionaire's work lot, so you've got worker traffic and noise. Avoid this place if you can.

although the campground was not too populated my experience was subpar. Small flies attacked us immediately upon setup. Nearest water faucet didn't work.
Nice to have the river nearby. Campground hosts were nice!

Don’t trust your GPS. Two different gps apps showed the wrong location for the campground. Camp hosts were friendly, campground was quiet, except for the falling acorns on the roof. Plenty of room in spot 2 for our 38 class A plus toad.

Only portable toilets - that was not clear at time of booking.
Campsite was not clean. Trash from previous guests around the table.
