Roads into the campground are rather narrow. Maneuvering our camper was a real challenge. Signs directing which roads lead to what sites are non-existent.

Nice place to camp with plenty of room between sites. They tell you about highway noise and that is true. Lots of stars at night. They need larger signs at the water spigot (right next to a bathroom) about not washing dishes and body parts. Our dog enjoyed the site (5).

Nice place and awesome location. The only downside is the noise from the road. But you get used to it. I would definitely recommend it.

Everything was excellent except this campsite was too close to the bathroom and it smells bad. Otherwise I recommend the campsite.

Lots of mosquitoes spaces are hard to get into, you’ll have to go the opposite way of the signs to back in a trailer. There isn’t a direct marked path to the river but you can find some very nice secluded spots which are great for fishing during the early morning or late afternoon.

What an amazing time, observing the night sky while waiting for the full moon to appear, the crystal water of the river and the beautiful sound make this trip a memorable experience.

The campsite is right on the road.. route 89 is very close and very loud... hard to feel like you are enjoying nature

Beautiful spot a stone’s throw from the river; weather was perfect at mid 40s in the morning and mid 80s in the afternoon. Wonderful outdoor experience!
