Nice quiet campground. Sites have level concrete pads and some sites are fhu. Good level roads for bike riding, however, not many trails to hike.

Loved staying three nights in site 6. Beautiful view of river. Early morning duck hunters made sure we were awake at daylight and the planes from the nearby air base pilot training school made sure we stayed up. Site is close to town. We will come again.
