We really like this campground. It's clean & quiet. Wish there was a functional garbage bin for trash. The small one is permanently sealed closed with heavy screws. Probably so the high winds don't open it. Extremely windy conditions while we were there, which isn't in anyone's control, but took away from the experience.

We loved the camp! Not all crammed together like many parks. The hosts are the best we’ve ever encountered. They are a 10+++. They went over the top to be helpful and friendly! We’ll be back.

Our site was right on the river, which was breathtakingly beautiful. The river was warm and welcoming after a hot day driving. The sites were very clean and well maintained. The potable water was accessible and a pleasant surprise. The warm days and cool nights made for an excellent adventure. We will be back!

The campground was nice but our particular site, 9A, stated that the max vehicle length was 45 feet, which was incorrect. We had just enough room to park out 15 foot trailer, then the bollards prevented backing in any further. We parked our truck next to the trailer.
The restrooms were clean, the hosts were nice.
