The paved camp sites and paved riverside paths were nice. We have a granddaughter with cerebral palsy and she enjoyed being able to see her cousins float the river. The kids spent a lot if time playing games in the spacious camp site as well as floating the river in their tubes. We purposely reserved Tuesday thru Thursday to avoid the weekend crowd.

We loved it. We had a double site, very shady. The campground was full, but did not seem crowded. Would come back.

We had a great time with extended family. The older kids loved playing in the water and the younger kids loved the freedom to run and walk on the trails to their next adventure. The site accommodated all our needs, including those pulling a trailer. The camp host was Amazing and very welcoming and helpful. We are already planning our visit in 2020.
