Great little campground by the river. Had the place to ourselves. You have to tolerate the trains running by, super close, about every 2 hours.....until midnight and then they start again early in the morning. We also were woken to the gunblasts of duck hunters. It's a pretty place, right on the river. The vault toilets are in the minimal range, super old. There is a playground.

Cute, quaint little campground.
We enjoyed a relaxing weekend here because it's only about 10 minutes from the skatepark. There were only two other campers. Everyone was quiet and respectful. There is a train that runs right next to the campsites throughout the night, but I thought it was cool. The park rangers brought my son a junior ranger activity book, tattoos, stickers and a frisbee in the morning. We will stay here again!
