This was a really nice campsite especially for the price. Yes it is close to the highway but I didn't really notice the noise. Its close to the river, each revered spot has its own fire pit, and its pretty spaced out between neighbors. Now, somethings that I did notice is that their isn't much shade on certain spots so bring canopies or if you have your Rv's with awnings then you should be fine. The second thing is that there is tons of dirt. I had a mat in our trailer but it still stuck to my shoes. I recommend a patio mat or something extra to clean your feet with. Other then that it was perfect.

In the midst of all of the pandemic craziness, this place offered a great time and place to get away from it all. The spot was spacious and open. We were immediately next to the river which provided some excellent nature sound and water fun for the kids and doggies. Our camp host was the nicest guy and made us feel so welcome.

The campgrounds are beautiful and the river was so much fun to play in with the kids and dogs. Campsite #12 itself is a bit awkward and crossed between the others with limited space. Not recommended if you are looking for privacy with distance from neighboring campers.
