Campsites are nice and spacious, but it's tight parking at the pulloffs. The biggest issue was people hanging out at night at the nearby recreation area. The light from their bright flashlights and car lights was annoying.

Overall, the location in the campsite itself was well maintained and very beautiful. It’s just so happened that there was a burn ban that only went into affect basically the day that I got to the campsite and since I had planned on using a campfire to cook, I had to buy a propane stove. The fishing is pretty good I would definitely recommend waders as bank access is very limited but I enjoyed the stay and will definitely come back

Campsite was not accessable by car. Parking along the street and along the traffic. Parked in the parking lot which was fine but not a campsite. Left a day earlier due to situation. Would not recommend the campsite.
