Campground was superb. All paved. Clean pit toilets. Plenty of water outlets. No problem maneuvering with 30' fifth wheel.

Road in was 9 miles of gravel. At lot of corrugation so pretty rough. Not a pleasant drive but no sharp turns or potholes/rocks.

Couldn’t even get into the campsite way too may trees and looks like a lot of them have been hit is the past. Even the camp host told us it’s hard to get trailers in and out of there!

The campground was great! We especially loved the water faucets that had just been installed. It was wonderful to have water in the campgrounds. The vault toilets were well maintained and the smell was minimal. We will use the camp site again in the future.

The campsite was very clean and maintained. The bathroom was very clean. It was very nice having a reservation and our name on the site. The hot bath was clean.

I love Baumgartner park, but this year we were inundated with hornets. We asked the camp host who said there was a nest in the camp site right next to ours. Bummer. I got stung, as well as my friend.

Site #35 is so wonderful that we cannot say enough good things about it!
Such a LARGE and comfortable site with direct access to the river.
The campground was extremely well maintained and we felt so safe here.
It is a very long drive off the beaten path but BEAUTIFUL the whole way!
We wish we had so much more time to stay here.

The campground itself was beautiful. The campsites are first rate - level, clean, private. We loved the hot tub but it was pretty crowded. It was a trudge getting to the campground with our trailer (very long dirt road). We expected more hiking trails but the trails were more geared towards the ATVs and dirt bikes.
