Close to the highway, yet right next to the river, great hiking trail across the road, that provided a wonderful opportunity for a trail jog

The camp host was great and very kind. Our site was near the river and had easy access to it making fishing fun. Our 12 year old caught one. The bathrooms were very clean and just several flies which were expected. Overall great experience.

This was a great campground for our 4th of July weekend! The bathrooms were incredibly clean (especially for vault toilets!). It's a great location on the river and close to other places on the river. The campgrounds are spacious and pretty private. We will definitely be back!
