would like to see some ramps or a walkway down to the river over the rocks for easy access for the handicapped and seniors. So they can have easy access to river fishing .

Need wi-fi. We could not get phone service of any kind. We would camp more if we had wi-fi to do some work, too.

{"text"=>"This campground is top notch. Each site has about 1/4 of lush well maintained grass. There a bike trails everywhere. It is a very easy walk to the water and only 20$ a night for electric only sites. They do have a dump station and potable water. Showers are spotless. We will definitely visit this park again.", "languageCode"=>"en"}
