Riverside view is outstanding, but the park is in need of some maintenance. The bathroom / shower house is the worst I've ever encountered: the (blank) cleaning check off sheet on the door dated from April and by the looks of them they MAYBE were last cleaned in March. Poop in toilet bowl, mud and paper towels on shower floor remained throughout our stay, as did the dust around the sink. Many sites as well as the walking path are prone to forming deep puddles after a rain and many campsites (including ours) saw the paved portion covered with mud after heavy rains.

On the plus side, the host was friendly, but came across as a bit nosey and seemed more interested in dropping in on the campers than in performing any real work. (I also noticed that some of the "site reserved" signs in the campsites were from 2 years ago!). As mentioned, the view is outstanding and the campers there were quiet and considerate of one another. I would stay here again, but plan on using the facilities in the camper rather than those provided.

The area is very pretty- the campground was quiet and people were very nice. We were in a tent so unfortunately had to experience the gross bathrooms. There was at least toilet paper- but there was standing water in a gutter right behind the toilets that was just fungating back there. And while it says don’t bring firewood clearly on the site- there’s no where close to buy firewood. We had to drive all the way back to 77 about half hour to get some. Probably not a place I would ever make the effort to go to again.

  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
