Campground and the hosts are wonderful. The road going in gets worse every year and if you get stuck when it’s wet after rain, you trash your vehicle. All because of the dump trucks and quary.

The hosts at this location are top notch. Bathrooms are spotless. Communication when there was a problem excellent. Park grounds neat and well kept. There is not a bad site at this park. It does get windy so be prepared. Would definitely stay again if I could get reservations, lucked out this time after trying for 2 weeks.

Very nice campground. Well kept. Major attraction was the boats going in and out of the locks. Lots of birds and wildlife. Very secluded. Loved our stay.
