The service fee for one night of camping is almost as much camping fee. And if you've paid for a Senior pass, the service fee is actually more than the cost of the campsite.

Amazing place to visit. We had the dogs and one of our dogs is not so dog friendly. Due to spread out nature of each campsite it was absolutely perfect. Each site was super private except 2 and 3 which kind of merged together so that would be a great place for a group. Each site had its own private entrance to the water. #1 where we stayed was not a spot where you could actually get in the water but the other ones had lovely swim accessibility. You cannot campground in your car as there was a parking lot and you needed to carry your stuff a short distance. Not too bad nothing crazy. We were more than pleased here, as most spots are so close. These were beyond expectation. We are going to make this our go to spot! Can't recommend enough! Zero cell service with t mobile

The campground is small. It only has five sites. Keep that in mind. Sites, 1, 4 and 5 are separate enough for privacy, however sites 2 and 3 are side by side. That could be remedied by having foliage put in between the two sites to help with that. A washout has been used as a path to both 2 and 3 making that seem like the way to go. However, the path to site 1 allows access to 2 and 3, separately as well. Fixing and closing off the washout will also help campers go the right way without interrupting other campers and sites. The bathrooms need fully renovated and the trash cans need updated with working latches. Walking paths are throughout and pretty much connect all the sites the the river without invading other people's space. But you will most likely hear other campers while there. There is a central parking lot so you'll have to carry your supplies to each site. They are fairly short walks with site 1 being the farthest but it's also the farthest away from the others in general.
