Our site was #05 was right by the river which was awesome. No camp host but wasn't an issue. We were there during the week so many sites were empty. What is it with people stringing up xmas lights and leaving them on all night, no regard for your neighbors, really annoying.

Beautiful area but the sites are on top of one another, minimal space for a tent at our location. Be prepared to get friendly with your neighbors no matter what site you’re in.

The rushing river right next to our campsite provided some great ambiance. The site was clean when we arrived and the facility was very well kept. The pit toilets were some of the cleanest I have ever found in a camping area. The water hydrants worked well and the drinking water was tasty. This is a gem of a campground.
