Would be awesome to have full hookup! Restrooms need updating terribly.
Landscaping is well taken care of!
Concrete walkway and fishing dock are well cared for also!

Always a pleasure to stay here. Speed bumps are kind of aggressive but once in it’s well maintained and the sites on the river offer enough privacy. The staff makes you feel welcome.

I really enjoy coming to this campground. Relaxing and a beautiful location. One issue that I noticed since my last visit to this campground is all the speed bumps they have now installed. To get in here you have to cross at least 7 speed bumps!!! Very excessive if you ask me. Not to mention these speed bumps are not good for our campers to cross over every 10 yards. I can only imagine a full Class A going over all these bumps. Pleas remove some of them, having this many in a short distance is not good for our suspension systems on our campers.
Overall this is still my favorite go to when I want to get away for the weekend!!

Best site in the park. The people that maintain the park do an awesome job. Always very clean and quiet. All the sites are level and paved. i come here often.

Site 10 is one of the best sites around. While it was hot while we were there, this site gave us an inordinate amount of shade to make it comfortable being outside. The wildlife and waterfall with this place is so much fun to watch and the good thing is it’s in our backyard. We will be back soon. Highly recommend.
