Campsite #73 was in a great location, which we enjoyed very much. The only drawback was that there was no BBQ/cooking grate over the fire pit, so we had to pan fry our steaks. The campground host, Jon, was very helpful.

Overall a good place to camp. To note, lots of driveways are sloped so sleeping in the car is odd. Men’s restroom smells whilst the Women’s doesn’t. Free hot showers available but only 1 stall per restroom.

No firewood onsite. Buy some from the Village Market about 5 miles towards the national park.

I was confused by the map online. I thought our camp site had a water front cause the map showed blue and camp sites were surrounding the blue. Nope. It was literally nothingness lol so that was disappointing. Otherwise great campground! There’s a hot shower (free!) in the restrooms

It was a very nice and clean campsite. We enjoyed hiking with our dogs to the river. Would definitely go again but stay in a different spot. We were in site 61 and there must be a hornets nest close to it as we were the only campers constantly removing them from our pop up.

Camping in December is a good time sun during the day but make sure you are prepared for the cold nights because it gets really cold so take plenty of wood

Site 57 is for an RV only. There are no flat areas to put a tent. The picnic table is on a slope and the firepit is mostly slopy for sitting around it.
