Quite camp ground, spaces are set up with room between each site, makes it feel more private. Nice area to walk and or ride a bike. We enjoyed a nice boat ride while we were there. My husband loves the fishing, many different areas to choose from. We camped with friends in three different sites, next to each other. It was nice to be able to go from one site to the other.. to play cards, bbq and sit by the camp fire.

Very clean park and site. Our site overlooks the river. And the park not far from the interstate.
