Well maintainted park with open spaces for other activities. Several paths and roads to traverse with good views of the dam, lake, and reservoir. Some sites are close and shady (away from the river), while others are a bit more open and sunny. We stayed by the river, west end, and it was shady but had good view and access to the river. No road noise, very quiet in the evenings but we stayed just after Labor Day, so much of the campground was empty. Note: You can't access the bridges/bike trail from here without going on the road about 1 mile. The bridges/bike trail was great -- lots of good views of the lake and plenty of places to rest if needed. NO services (like water/food) along the way other than a couple of restrooms.

It was all awesome until the smoke from nearby fire flooded our air and visibility. A red alert went into place and no more pit fires allowed. Then the showers/bathrooms were closed.and locked up. The porta potties were not leveled and it was rock away and shake shake! Left early. Sorry but while the fire is not something you can control, the shower/bathroom situation stank!!!

Great park hosts. Nice park. Limited showers.
Negatives are barking dogs and loud generators all day. Some homeless people were there. Awful mess left in the mens showers.

It was very disappointing to not be able to have the candles on the table to keep the mosquitoes away. The mosquitoes are so bad there.

This was our first stay at this park. The hosts were wonderful and meet our every need.the park was wonderful and woody. My only negative comment was the noise from the road in front! While busy and noisy durning the day, we were not bothered at night when sleeping!

Decent campground, definitely intended more for RVs and trailers rather than tents. Great weekday getaway I’d you’re looking for something quiet. The weekend is obviously busier and louder.
