The campground was very nice with mature trees and very well maintained. The shower and restroom facilities were exceptionally clean. Everyone there was very friendly and helpful.

This was our first time to go and we loved it. The bathrooms were very clean and the site was great. The only thing was, I wished our site had the grill insert to go over the fire like we saw at the other sites but it for sure wasn’t a deal breaker for us.

Staff at gate were great and the clean up crew was doing a very good job. We brought a concern to the host but I don't think he did anything with it. The concern was dumping black tank into a plastic storage tub and what might happen to it. There was no evidence left at the site so I guess the camper to care of it properly. Only thing to watch out for are some tight corners and the water pressure.

Our site (#19) was a very nice pull through site. Close to the water but also close to the road, only about 3 feet between the curb and where our chairs were. My wife and I like to do hiking trails when we camp. Website said 11 miles of hiking trails but there was only one at the campsite (others were within a 30 minute driving distance) rated moderate to severe and had not be cleared of debris in 3 years according to the camp host. He recommended we not take that trail. If you want to do something other than sit by the campfire, take your kayaks, bicycles or fishing gear with you. The river was beautiful. If we decide to go back, we want sites 1-5.

Site one’s overhang was blown off and appeared that way for some time. The large rocks around the site was confining for fear of breaking ankles. The bath room was far away. But… great staff, beautiful scenery and WILL return!
