This was a great place for my family. My small children really enjoyed it. The playground and swimming beach are not far from any site, and we’re kept nice and clean. The bathrooms were very clean and so was our site. The only downfall is that this campground is right off the highway and you can hear the traffic, but I got used to it. I’m going back again this coming summer to kick off our camping season!

Great small park if you have kids. Not a park for big rigs 30 ft is about it. Camp sites are real close. Highly used. Can not run you generator after 10 PM. The highway is very close and so is the train. The folks in town are very friendly. It seems like big money is coming to the area and some of the folks are not a fan of it. The local laundry was very clean and the price was very fair.

Great for kayaking or boats. Wildlife space and rivers. But try and get a spot away from the road if tent camping. Always friendly.

The camp hosts were above and beyond the most friendly and hard working I have ever experienced in my life! Thank you so much for your hard work in these difficult times and friendly demeanor. This was the perfect campground if you have roudy kids and a normal dog! Having the park and river made it a perfect family destination. Sites were private enough, road was louder than expected.

Way too crowded, not enough trees, campsites too close, rude people walking through others' campsites, weird shed on campsite (56?), small beach area that is also open to the public
