If you have an RV over 20 ft this is NOT the campground for you. There are rock formations on both sides as you come in that are probably 9 ft 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!

The spillway campground is fantastic! Right next to the overlook trail that offers great views of the reservoir. Make sure to keep your food locked up otherwise the chipmunks will get into it. Please be courteous and throw your trash away, don't try to burn it in the fire pit as you'll leave half burned remnants for the next family staying at the site.

This service straight sucks, I did not go, I reserved on 02/09/21 for 06/24/21 thinking it was walk up on 06/25-06/26 like the website said at the time. Then I find out your website "had a glitch" and you allowed someone to reserve over me. I went to another campsite that does not use Recreation.gov. I also will never use recreation.gov again. I was going to ask for a refund, but you can keep my $22, basically the cost of this lesson.
