First of all, Bill is a great host and cares about the people staying at the campground. This is the first time I have had a host come around to talk to everyone making everyone was good and did not need anything. We loved campsite 13 because it was right on the water. Although there storms and caused serious flooding it was still a nice place. Bill made sure he kept everyone informed of weather and flooding conditions. We hope to see Bill on our next stay as long as they open the road up after repairs, if they make the repairs.

Nice secluded campground with sites right on the river. Accessible via a short drive through some narrow mountain roads after a longer drive through more open country. Perfect getaway spot. Vault toilets were kept clean and each site was quite large.

The campsite was clean, especially the fire pit. It was cleaned out of ashes and debris. Bathrooms were clean and stocked.
