We booked a reservation in advance and when we got there people were at our site. They were told it was open and the camp ground manager gave them our site. The camp ground manager was gone and we were left trying to figure out what to do for an hour. Luckily we got a hold of someone on the phone and were able to find another site but it was poorly planned and very frustrating. I would call in advance and make sure your site is available. So frustrating.

Quiet, clean and colorful for fall. Camp host made himself known ,if I needed anything and seemed to run a tight ship. Great experience

There was no camp host during our stay. Our site had paintings obviously by children on some of the trees and rocks. The site was not cleaned. The toilet had very little toilet paper, we had to use our own by the morning.

Great and peaceful spots with lots of spots close to the river. This area is tight to get into with the narrow path and overgrown trees and shrubs.

Great small campground for smaller trailers( 20-25 ft. ). Green and pretty quiet. There’s a dirtroad right across the creek but you don’t really hear it from the sound of the water. Camp hosts are very helpful and keep the area clean.
