We are already planning our next trip back. This place was absolutely gorgeous. We got a tent site right next to the rocks leading to the river and were able to walk right down and wade along the rocks. We went swimming and it was perfect since we were in a no wake zone! The campsite was clean, the bathrooms were nothing fancy at all, but had clean enough flushing toilets, which was just fine for us! The lady at the front check in was incredibly sweet and couldn’t have been more welcoming and helpful! We were just amazed!

Cancellation policy

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.

- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
