Site was tight and un level. Bathrooms are terrible. Mayflies made it impossible to do anything outside.

Nice park! Large, clean sites. Peaceful trail that is paved that goes behind the park and around a marsh. Can watch the barges go down the River. Not having a swim area would be the only negative.

This campground was really nice when they had host that lived in the campground and were paid to be there. Now, there is nobody stationed at the guardhouse and anyone can come and go as they please. Not a safe condition for the campground that was once a very secure place. You can also see that the lack of government funding for parks is extremely lacking. Bring back the campground that was once a great place to stay!!

This was a very pleasant camping trip. We tent camped on an RV site. We were able to park 2 cars in the RV spot with plenty of room, set up our tent on the gravel area and have water and electric access. There was also a metal fire ring with grill to flip over, a free standing grill and picnic table. Most of the sites are well shaded from tall trees. The bathroom had 2 showers and 3 stalls and was very clean and maintained for a camp bathroom. There was also a large pavilion, playground, boat ramp, and fish cleaning station. The raccoons did pester us every night. They were able to climb up the metal trash hook and stole our marshmallows off our table with us sitting right at the fire ring. We also saw an armadillo and rabbit and heard many birds and owls. There’s a paved walking trail that is a little over grown but comes out to a beautiful swamp area with lots of dragonflies. There is a grassy area near the boat ramp with a nice view of the river and sunset also.

Very quiet campsites. Plenty of room on each site. Close to a Walmart if you forget anything. On return it would be nice to have some of the trees along the bank like sites 73 and 74 so trimmed of foliage so you could see water
