Cumberland Grill had great food at a great price 😋! Go to top of the hill turn left on hwy 12. When you have to slow down to 45mph it's a short distance on the right

This is the best federal campground we've visited out of well over 10. It is clean, well organized, level pads, scenic and the campground host is the best.

Campground is small but nice. There are 10-12 campsites that back-up to the river but the campsites across that park road are concrete & very level.

Great campground, well kept and very helpful staff, the only problem is it's very hard to get to with a 35" motorhome...

The campsite host was so incredibly nice, welcoming, and helpful! We loved the cleanliness of the site and peaceful atmosphere. The site was the perfect place for me to introduce my friends to camping. We will definitely return!!!
