The host was so friendly and helpful and the campground was absolutely stunning. We loved biking all over the park and to the fish hatchery, though there isn't too much to see at the hatchery. This is our second time at the park and we will come back again and again!

Other than the rain a couple days and the storm one night, we had a very peaceful week. The campground is neat and tidy and has an abundance of shady campsite.

Very peaceful and quiet, during the week. Clean facilities, horseshoe pits need some attention, but usable. We'll go back soon.

Downstream campground is a diamond in the rough. Trees are abundant, sites are spaced generously distanced, trails are nicely groomed. In loop 2, 30 amp is on the interior of the loop while 50 amp is on the exterior of the loop. The shower buildings are clean. I noticed early Friday morning that our camp host was out on the 4 wheeler spraying the grass for weeds. My fire pit was clear of the previous guests burnt wood when I arrived. This is a laid back campground - there are a fair amount of families mixed in with couples and singles. Bring your bicycle if you enjoy flat rides - the campground is very spread out between the three loops, about a mile down the road are the primitive camping sites, The fish hatchery sometimes is open for self guided tours, and a few miles down the road is Pick City - a nice bike ride for anyone interested in a little exercise without huffing and puffing.
