The host Paul was amazing. We were in campsite 8. Beautiful water access, clean, trimmed and accessible. A couple of visits from the local chipmunks.
The vault toilets were immaculate. The campsite was sparkling will go again.
Thank you Paul for a wonderful experience!!!

Site 7 was the best! Despite the size of the campground our site felt private and was just a short walk to the river. The facilities were clean and camp host was very friendly. Highly recommend bug spray for the mosquitos, but we still enjoyed our stay!
