Upper Parkside camping areas along the creek are all very nice. We camped before the Memorial Day weekend crush and the campground(s) were nearly empty! Beautiful! Wish campers could learn to not deface/destroy the trees. Teach your children well.

Perfect site #24. Some sites on upper loop were right at the river. We had very short walk to river but could here it from our site. Had 29 ft travel trailer. Host Jerry was fantastic.

This campground was beautiful! We stayed in site #6. One of the best sites I think. Most of the sites on the river are well laid out and nice sized. Each site has its own bear box. Plenty of shade but sun too. The area is beautiful. Highly recommend.

We never met the campground host but could see he was taking very good of the campground. The bathrooms were very clean and the site overall was super tidy compared to other campgrounds we'd been in.
