Beautiful campground with most sites having view of the river. As with most COE campgrounds, water and electricity at site and dump station available on the way out. Campsite was fairly level, and good shade.

We stayed at site 14 and 21 in a fifth wheel rig. The camp host was so kind the fishing was pretty good from the bay, better fishing at 14 better set up for swimming at 21. Easier set up for dogs at 14 with a keel grass area near the camper vs 21 was level once you get down to the next level. Getting to the park- pay attention and don’t miss the turn. There is a curve on the road right before the camp ground that is more or less a single lane if you’re with a larger rig, drive slow. The campground is very well kept. and no issues with the noise level at any point. We are younger but it was an older crowd that was very friendly. This place is truly a hidden gem if you are looking for quiet and water.
