We have been going there over 30 years. We love it. This year the bathrooms(outhouses). We’re not in the best shape. They needed to be emptied and weren’t the cleanest.

This is a lovely campground but this spot #31 is basically in someone's backyard. Best spots are on the river.

Came as a large group and booked #33 to be a bit away from the crowd noise and it was amazing. Will definitely come back.

No Privacy, sites too close to the drive and way too close together. Too close to highway although it wasn't busy. Some campers need to monitor their children's behavior better and one family stayed up until 0300 with music on and talking on the way to the bathroom. Caretaker was not far away but in a hardside, so probably didn't hear. It is a small campground with no real trails so disappointing in that regard--had to go elsewhere for much of a walk.
Plusses--at some sites you can hear the river gurgling, bathrooms were clean, caretaker pleasant.
I don't plan to return to this campground as it doesn't work for me.

Was very noisy during the 4th of July days that we were there. During our first day when we were out someone stole our BBQ that was left near the fireplace. And a little dogbag… many kids.

It's an ok campground, but not great. There's nothing around really except the river, which was fun and had loads of crawdads. But this is right along the road, and you do get some road noise. Also, night one we had an RV start up its generator and run it all evening, drowning out any sounds of nature or peaceful quiet, and the second night we had an extended family with lots of fighting and shouting late into the night. Wouldn't return to this campground.

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.

- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
