For a campground that is off the beaten path, it was very enjoyable. The attendants were very helpful. The showers were clean and worked great. Being a federal campground it typically does not have site electricity, but for us seniors with the Senior Pass, it is very inexpensive. We were able to camp right on the river and enjoyed it very much.

The staff was incredibly kind and helpful. They offer firewood and kindling for sale at reasonable prices. The campsite was clean and well groomed. Bathroom facilities were impeccable. Campsites were spaced far enough apart that even though there was still a bit of privacy.
