The best thing about this park is that the campsites are far enough apart to feel like there is some sense of seclusion while having the advantages of flush toilets. It is close enough to Dorena Lake for kayaking, biking, and hiking. It is alcohol-free, kid-friendly, with lots of space for large groups if that's your thing. Everyone is respectful and helpful.

Very well maintained park and excellent location. We stayed in a river front pull through spot that was quite large in a 38 ft motor home. Will definitely return!

We love this park as it is low-key, near water, and a rails-to-trails bike path which we used both days we were there. Our chosen camp spot was very sloped and we couldn't level our rig, so the host moved us to a spot that did work. They were very helpful.
