This is a gorgeous site and perfect for short R.V.’s or tents. This site is not on a loop so you will have to go to the end near the toilets to turn around for your rig to sit with doors facing the river and/or to exit. Don’t take anything bigger than 24’ down the road to this campsite.
The path from the parking spot to the fire pit and picnic table has natural steps so definitely don’t plan for toddlers, wheelchairs, or persons with ambulatory issues to comfortably navigate this site.
The site is right on the river and very large. Loved it!

This is a good trip. However it used to be better before they added more camp sites around the reservoir severely limiting access especially for those with disabilities. This has caused lots of issues of people being blocked in and out of campsites. And the host don’t do anything about it. It’s really to bad that adding a few campsites has ruined the experience when they could have easily added them in other areas.

This was one of the cleanest and beautiful campsites we have ever been to. The camp hosts, Rob and Kay, were warm, friendly and diligent in their work at cleaning the restrooms, cleaning and maintaining the grounds, and interacting with campers. We will be back.

Please don’t visit here! You won’t like it! The restrooms (outhouses) are kept clean and well supplied. The camp hosts are friendly and hardworking. The campgrounds are pretty and well maintained. Many have great views and those that don’t have a scenic view have plenty of trees around to create a lovely campsite.

Great facility!! Clean and very pleasant. Beautiful lake with lots of small trout. Perfect for SUP. No cell phone at all...which I like, but my wife did not due to her need to be in touch with clients. Highly recommend!
