We came up on a Sunday and stayed til Friday, since the weekends are crazy packed and I like less people! It was nice most people left out Sunday or Monday morning and there were probably seven or eight campsites full in the whole park! The river was not crowded and we were able to float only bumping into about 10-15 people on and off as we floated down! If you are like me and prefer to have some quiet exploring I highly suggest week day visits! The park its self was amazingly well kept, every bathroom I visited was clean and everything worked as it should. The River access was clean and beautiful! We found the secret swim beach and there was only one family there once every other time it was empty just us snorkeling looking for cool rocks and enjoying ourselves! Highly recommend camping here and visiting all the parks around!

dogs should always be leashed and we noticed several not on leashes, its not the parks fault other campers can't follow the rules. Again some camper had a very bright light on their camper, no fault of the park but annoying none the less. We will come back and we really enjoy the rest of the campgrounds.

This is our favorite place to camp! Bathrooms were clean, beautiful location, and very close to canoe rentals and convenience store.

We had group site G2 which had 45 people max. Next to G2 is group site G1 without any visible boundary from G2. Only one bathroom available for both sites. When the bus full of people arrived at G1 the ranger in a very rude tone asked us to move tents. Group of people at G1 was loud all night long. Altogether our experience was very unpleasant. Both group sites need to be combined as one due to no boundaries and only one bathroom on site.

Enjoyed watching the eclipse with all the campers in our loop. We were grateful that the shower house was open! The only "complaint" is the toilet facilities are a bit lacking in many of the loops.
