Campsites were generously spaced apart, giving a feeling of privacy & quiet. Thank the planners for that! Loved sitting and bird watching and all the park next door has to offer. We visited the interpretive center and thought it one of the best we've seen! Dam has fascinating history; we feel like we're learning real American history (again). Deb at check-in was professional, friendly, and knowlegable. Good hire! Clone her!

Its always nice at the downstream campground, but exceptional this year with the green grass and the quite surroundings. The only problem we had was with the wind for one day and that out of our hands. Campground was in excellent shape and well taken care of. The camp hosts were very professional........all was super during our camping trip.

Site 76 was a terrible site to back into. Close to a water spicket and shower houses. Large area for games.
