Everything good, except the water was turned off due to "theft" seems weird. Other than that it was a great camping experience.

The camp host John was fabulous. Every time we had a question he was right there to help. We had booked a site for one night, but wanted to stay a second. He helped us accomplish that easily. We loved the swimming hole also which was not too crowded.

We will definitely be back!

A five star location. Beautiful and quiet setting with amazing swimming hole. Interesting very short hike even if overgrown.

Incredibly wonderful camp host! The people dredging just down river really ruined the atmosphere with their loud machinery running throughout the day.

The camp spots were spacious and the day use area was amazing! Only downside is the long drive.
