This park was one of my best COE stays. The Camp Hosts were very helpful and friendly. Other campers said Hi, come join us. I was in site 21, electric only. Out my door, I had a table, fire pit and lots of grass. Close to the bathroom and shower house. Very family Friendly.

This site isn't super large but it is plenty large enough for a car and sizable tent. One really good thing is that if you don't like walking very far to the bathroom in the middle of the night, this campsite is right next to out the bathroom building. While you're there, you will probably hear a hum and that hum is coming from the generators on the river. Just a couple hundred yards away. It's kind of like a white noise. The bathrooms were clean and in good shape, as were the showers. If you want to be near that building site 42, 43, 44, and 45 are all a very short walking distance away from the entrance.
