Due to being early season, the campground was very open. Restrooms were clean and staff was friendly. We have camped here before and bike trail is off the campground. We did not bring our bikes this time because we were expecting rain all weekend.

Great level spots. Right on riverway for good walking or biking on path. Easy Walk to river for fishing.

I love this area bc you have access to a river, a lake and a paved bike trail. The only drawback is the loud generators used by the campers next to me. Next time, I'll pick a spot in the section that has electric, even though I have enough solar that I don't need it. Hot showers were also a great perk.
