I somehow managed to mess up my reservation but the camp host worked with me and we figured out a way to be able to spend the 4 days in the campground. I was very appreciative of their willingness to keep me informed of cancelations so I could move my tents to a new site. We thoroughly enjoyed the weekend and the grand babies were able to climb rocks and fish!

If you have an RV over 20 feet this is NOT the campground for you. There are rock formations on both sides as you come in that are probably 9 feet apart making it very difficult to enter the campground. It’s beautiful and hiking is amazing but very hard to maneuver a larger RV.

Great site. Unfortunately when we arrived at check in the person who reserved the site before me had not left or even be there. All their stuff was up. Had to wait 2hrs to start setting up.

Site 14 is nice but it is NOT at the location shown on the photo on the website. It is NOT adjacent to the River and is better for tent than RV.
Have fun!
