Stayed 2 days at Mountain View, camp host was excellent. Found us a place for our extra truck and trailer near our camp. Would also do regular laps through the campground which made us feel good since had rafting gear and what not in our camp while running the local rivers. It is ideal for a rafting or kayak trip.

We go every year around June for remembrance of my sister. She loved this campground and enjoyed watching the rafters and kayakers. We also enjoy the campground hosts. They are very friendly and always have the best stories to tell.

We stayed 3 nights. The site was clean and by the river. But the bathroom was dirty and ran out of toilet paper. And the trash bins were overflowing as well with bags laid on top of containers. Camp host had a trailer set up but their truck was NEVER there. Never saw them once in 3 days.

One of our favorite campgrounds ever... peaceful, sites right on the river, and a healthy amount of both sun and shade! Can't beat it! Clean bathrooms, happy dogs throughout, and the tranquility we were seeking.
