I had a great site right by the river. Sites are fairly spaced out. Camp host was great and nice. Only downside was that parking isn't right at the site. I went alone with 2 toddlers and 3 dogs, it would have been better if I could just unload right to my site and not have to carry everything back and forth. I will definitely be revisiting.

Generally a nice campsite. Beautiful views and great location next to the river, with ample spacing of the individual sites. But it is also next to the road. With the weekend traffic it gets pretty noisy and dusty. If you're looking to fish, it's a great location. If you're look to hike, I suggest you go elsewhere.

Camp host was helpful and courteous. Facility was clean and well managed.. The river across the street is convenient and fun to play in. You can hear the river running from your tent. Very soothing sound as you fall asleep.

The noise level was super bad one night! Tons of partying and arguments from a nearby group. I think they finally quieted down around 2:30 AM. Another night I heard a generator going the entire night even though there is a 10PM ban. Probably not the norm, as we have camped there before and it’s been super quiet. Very clean campground, great host! This year they do have groundhogs? I thought that odd. They were not there last year. Still they have chipmunks

Site 019 is a walk in tent only site and was very nice with trees and views overlooking the river. It was about a 30 yard walk up a slight incline to the site, but wasn’t bad. It’s in Eleven Mile Canyon which offers fishing and swimming in the river plus hiking. $7 park entrance fee. I would go back!
