Site 14. This is probably the most isolated site at this campground. But there’s no shade at the site. There’s good access to the river. Noise from the highway wasn’t too bad. We really enjoyed our night here.

We stayed there because it was close to the Mishawaka, having a wedding there. It was quit, easy to get in and out of there. Very clean and well maintained. The river right behind us with some good fishing spots. Camp host was very friendly and helpful.

Upper 009 is a great spot. I think 8 and 10 have slightly better river entryways, but this is still very close to the river and comfortable.

This is a very high use spot; the hosts need to clean off the table tops daily, they are disgusting. This would give the hosts something to do. The hosts need to say hi to the campers. There need to be signs in the bathrooms stating to leave the toilet lids closed when not in use so the odor vents to the outside and not the actual bathroom. Many campers campers have zero common sense with this.

The whole site was amazing. Really peaceful and our campground was perfect. Potable water, river front, restrooms (little over full). The ranger that was in site was extremely helpful and super nice. A must return for camping away from the city.
