This was our first time staying at an army corps of engineer campground. This exceeded my expectations as it had a nice level concrete parking area as well as a covered picnic table and water view. Everything was clean and friendly hosts checking us in.

Everything about our stay was perfect. The campground is laid out beautifully around the river, and even though it was full when we were there, it still felt very private. The grounds and accommodations were spotless. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Even though it seems a bit out of town, it was convenient and easy to get anywhere we wanted. It is by far the best place we have ever camped. Thank you so much for a truly enjoyable experience.

Beautifully kept campground.
Kind of hard to get into this busy little campground certain times of the year but worth it if you can make dates work.
Stan and Deb are two of the hardest working camp hosts I think I’ve come across.
Sites are kept immaculately clean and they make everyone feel safe and comfortable.
Such a fun time watching birds and large boats going through the locks.
Great park across the river too.
