The campsite itself was nice and shady, but our campsite neighbors put their tents way too close to our grill - it would have been unsafe for us to use it that close to their tents. Additionally, they played loud clubbing music that could be heard throughout the campsite, which kept our two young children awake. They stopped by 10, but the music/talking was far louder than any other campground I have visited.

Campground was only 10 miles off the main road but seemed very remote. We arrived after dark. Correct camping spot was hard to see. Campground was completely empty so we took any spot. Campground host never came out to assist it's one and only customer. Zero cell service ( t- mobile)
Campground was in a pretty area. Trees were changing colors.

There's a whole sign board covered in rules and policies. But not a site map. The sites are numbered but the signs with numbers are small and easy to miss. Backing into my space, I hit a log sticking ~7" out of the ground because it was directly behind my tire and blocked from my mirrors. Why are there random logs sticking out of the ground? No idea. But they're sure here and you will hit them if you don't have someone guiding you since they're directly in the path of your vehicle when you back into the space. I thought they might be there to protect the tables from vehicles hitting them, but the one I hit was just in the middle of my spot and nowhere near the table or anything else. The spigot nearest our site only works if you absolutely smash the top of the handle down, and then it sprays out at a wide angle hosing down your shoes and pants and everything except where you want the water to go. It's clearly been like this awhile because there's a paper sign that says "push handle straight down for water" that looks several years old. Campgrounds are situated right off the road so there's constant noise from cars even in the evening. Bathrooms were very clean when we arrived, but there are only 4 stalls, and the cleanliness didn't last all weekend with a half full campground. Fire pits are burned out on the bottom with large rusted through holes. Unsure if smoking is allowed or not, but the group next to us decided to chain smoke cigars and cigarettes all weekend. Not really worth the price, especially having to pay an extra $10 a night for a second car despite the two cars taking up less room than a single RV.

It was such a lovely time, the river was running and I got to bring my kids to the swimming hole to play. The campsite was clean and well kept and the host were very helpful at giving directions and points of interest. I can’t wait to come back in the spring
