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.

My family and I have been coming here since my kids were little. This year, we brought my 2 young grandsons here and they loved it, too!

One our most favorite places to visit each summer. We had a double space which was more than enough room for all of us to enjoy ourselves. Swam in the river, visited the hot springs and caught a couple of fish from the bridge. We will be back next summer for sure
