The ridgid 2 vehicle max is more than a little annoying. I arrived with a party of 3 on 3 motorcycles which is 6 wheels on the ground and was told I had to book a double site. While camped we watched the single site I had reserved occupied by a large rv(4wheels on the ground) a large pickup truck (4wheels on the ground). 4 people, an additional car (4wheels on the ground)with 3 more people. Which group do you think had a bigger impact on campground infrastructure? And we had to pay twice as much. How is that fair?

Very nice park. Very clean and well maintained facility. We used AT&T for phone service with spotty coverage at best. No problem as we wanted the quiet, solitude and peacefulness this Park provides. We had to leave early and checked out to drive home (almost 30 minutes away). By the time we got home, I had a email with a refund we did not request or expect. The staff at this park are very polite and friendly. Great facility and we will definitely be back again.

This park was wonderful. Super quiet, right on river, very green, beautiful healthy trees and camp suites are spaced out!

Great park. The bike trail was fantastic and the camp host was very friendly and helpful. Wish the cell service was better. Other than that one little desire, everything was really wonderful. Highly recommend!

Site 003D was great. It was very private, we weren’t close to anybody. But, site 13 was closed, that’s why it was private. This campground had the nicest bathrooms I’ve ever seen. There wasn’t any water access through the whole camp site, the river was blocked by blackberry bushes. All of the water access points were blocked by other camp sites. Overall, very nice campground.

Great place to spend a few days or a week. We go there every year as it is close to the town we grew up in. It is a perfect place for relaxing and seeing the sites and can do a day trip to the coast.
