We spent two days here near the river.

It was pleasant camping, the road noise was minimal. We could hear the river.

There is a camp host here. RVs can fit here too. Sites here can be reserved, some are FSCG though. It is a clean campground with garbage containers and pit toilets. Water is available.

#14- Great spot. Perfect little private beach/ swimming hole. They have improved the tent site area as well. Always a good stay @ MV.

This campsite was not our original plan, but we are SO glad we decided to go with it. We had the double site (#13) and I cannot recommend it enough! It was so spacious for both our families and a 10 second walk to this beautiful river access spot. We stayed out there all day, it was amazing. Perfect spot for fishing too! Very quiet campground, we’ll definitely come back again next year!

Picked spot 11 for tent basecamp while out exploring the area over the weekend. Not a lot of shade but a nice spot. The camping spot was very clean and right next to the river. It’s close to spot 10, so hopefully you get good neighbors. We lucked out with good neighbors so it made our experience even better. Camp host was very nice and made sure we had no questions or issues.
