Decent campground, but no host. Recommend sourcing firewood in Lake George vs Spillway.

The campsite was super nice and just a walk to the river. There is a long staircase from the parking spot to the campsite which makes it more challenging to set up camp. Overall very nice! Comes with a stair master workout.

Very beautiful place to camp but watch out when you enter Eleven Mile Canyon. You must purchase a park permit. When we checked in we told the attendant we were buying the permit for us and our nephew in the vehicle directly behind us. She took our money for both vehicles and then proceeded to charge him as well.
