Great spot. Not too close to other sites. Steps at the edge of the water. Great place to dock a boat or two. Close to boat launch and bathrooms.

Very peaceful and quiet. Would be nice to have a picnic table. The campsites are all very good size.

Beautiful, spacious, private site. There is access to the river you just have to be careful climbing down the bluff, it can be slippery but there are tree roots that act like steps. The area of the river this site is on it clean. There is a trail you can walk from the campsite along the river. Definitely recommend.

Love this spot. Narrow and long site not great for campers but great spot for tents. There is a hiking trail right off the site!

So beautiful watching the river glide by. Pretty quite can still hear the road. Isolated from any other campers. Nice table and fire circle.
