Campground is right along a busy highway and train tracks which is quite distracting amongst the river. W where tenting and the bathrooms were clean, but not convenient to our location. Damn is nice to walk by and Grand Rapids is very near by. The noise pollution is really the biggest downfall!

Most sites are large and there is plenty of space between sites for privacy. Shade was plentiful. Navigation and parking were easy for our 35-ft 5th wheel except for the turn-around circle at the end of the road, it was a bit tight.
I did not realize sites were reservable so we arrived without a reservation and were greeted by a "Campground Full" sign. I could see several empty sites so I went into to office to check the 'full' status with the ranger. The ranger had no idea, stated I would have to check with recreation.gov. Also, if a site was available it had to be procured via recreation.gov; the ranger could not take payments. Seems to me it would behoove recreation.gov to keep the rangers apprised of the campground status and permit them to sell sites.
There was no internet service, so I had to phone recreation.gov to check for availability. PIA, you have to listen to a full 2 minutes of boilerplate messages before the menu to speak to an agent becomes available. The agent was very helpful, gave me my choice of 3 cancelled sites, and let me pay using the credit card on file (I had an existing recreation.gov account).
