The spot was perfect, especially since there was many trees which gave the area lots of shade. The near by river was perfect! My dogs loved it!!

Paradise Campground offers a great camping experience, with clean facilities, friendly and professional camp hosts, and a peaceful atmosphere. Many visitors appreciate the spacious, shaded sites and the campground's proximity to nature, including hiking and a nearby river. While there are some concerns about pests and occasional noise, overall, guests find it to be a lovely spot for relaxing getaways.

Very dry and hot during summer. Our site #14 was infested with red ants. I do not recommend this campsite to any family with small children.

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

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.
