This is a really cool site but there is a steep hill down to the river. Young healthy people with no knee pain can scale the hill with little issue but I would recommend a good strong rope for you to tie to the top and bottom to help others up and down. Other then that the site is beautiful and because its not on the river there are less bugs to worry about. Also access to the boat launch is maybe a 1/4 mile from you. Really a nice site!

This site is large and very secluded. It has a beautiful overlook over the river. Always has a verizon cell signal.

Our time there was excellent except for the host, who was only there at night. and ran his generator all night long. Disturbing , since we could hear it, being he was in the next site. The beauty of camping here is the quiet and he spiled that!

Excellent campground that is right on the river. Quiet area with nice open sites and clean pit toilets. Site had a nice fire ring but didnt have a picnic table but wasn't an issue for me. Cell service on AT&T was zero bars. Drive on the way in was paved roads until the last half mile then it was gravel with some big potholes so taking it slow is recommended.
