Please fix the site map on this app! Sites 20 and 21 are next to the railroad tracks, north of the boat launch. Map currently shows them as directly east of the parking lot. Otherwise had an amazing time, amenities were clean and shower was hot. :)

DO NOT BOOK SITE 20 without seeing it first. Both site 20 and 21 are not mapped correctly. You must walk through site 20 to get to 21. Site 20 is right next to the boat ramp and sloped with the only flat spot is right next to the fire ring. So only small tents and no fires with the tent up. Site 21 isn't too bad but you 10 ft from the train that comes though early.

Other than the road traffic and a train coming through in the middle of the night. The campground is very nice.

Your first page is not functioning. I wanted to give it five stars. Very clean, quiet & convenient to lots of activities. The Forest History Center is great as is childrens indoor play area at the Judy Garland Museum.

I enjoyed my stay at the campground but everytime went to use bathrooms and showers there were people using them who were not camping there! i think we should go back to using codes after all we pay for the use and they do not!

Well maintained park. Highway and train right outside the park. Can be noisy but overall nice stay for a couple of days.
