Have always camped here, beautiful sites. And we live in town! Only regret is no more first come first serve. People that reserve sites only pick weekends which in turn makes it impossible to stay an extended time without moving. We drive through during the weekdays and so very many sites are empty. Who wants to stay a couple of days then have to vacate. So disappointing. Have heard this comment from many many campers.

The visitors Center here was beautiful and in town there are so many beautiful old homes. There are also some really nice bike paths.

Our campsites were a bit outdated and could use some sprucing up. The fee booth attendant was also a bit ridged about checking in. I had put the wrong pass number for our ATB pass and I was beginning to think she might not let us stay. Make sure to have all your data matched up before you get there. The bathrooms are okay, nothing to write home about.

Beautiful area and camp sites. Unfortunately many rv sites not level. Small but nice beach with roped off swimming area, nice marina with boat rentals, slip rentals etc.

First time at this camp ground we were in site 25 and loved the full hookup. Shower house was clean and plenty of hot water. During our stay two new bathrooms and shower houses were opened so we were the first people to use them! Make sure you visit the COE visitor center at the dam. You won’t be disappointed.
