We had a group site with people arriving throughout the evening. Staff at the park were very friendly and helped direct them to our group.

Beautiful site with lovely staff. Everything was fantastic- my only complaint was the bathroom didn’t have any soap, but that feels easily fixable!

Very nice park with Water & Electric. Recommend sites away from the road. Nice location near river and bike trail. Loved the covered bridges in the area.

We love this park and try to go at least once a summer. We had our 8 year old grandson with us and he rode his bike for hours! The park is spread out, close to Dorena Lake and always run by friendly and competent volunteers. Keep up the good work Army Corp of Engineers!

Hosts were pleasant. Campground was clean. Hosts patrolled the area multiple times throughout the day. Only drawback was that the dumpsters were at either end of the campground.
