The campground was very well maintained and the vault toilets were spotless. Nice riverfront sites and lots of stars. There are hornets and bees - a lot so you have to be careful. Really no shade. Lastly generators - everyone seemed to have one and they ran them all day from 8am until 10pm.

Oh my this campground was so nice! The campground host Bob is just the nicest man and he is so helpful! We give him 10 stars! Being right below the dam, the water was so cold, but it was warm and it was refreshing! We did leave a day early, due to the flys and wasps, they were really bad! No fault of the park, it’s been a bad summer for the bugs!

My granddaughter and I had a blast! The camp host was awesome. I help a little lady get her spot reserved on the internet.

The camp host Bob is seriously the best! So friendly and just loves people! These sites all are spacious and secluded. The only thing that would make them better is full hookups! This campground is great if you love to fish or boat. Not so good for beach swimming or with small kids.
