I had never been to this campground before and chose our site based on the map online. The map is completely inaccurate of the layout where the sites are. I booked site 14 thinking I'd be next to the river and we were across the road from the sites there were next to the river. The description also describes the site as having full shade although there were little trees around us. The campground was clean and so were the bathrooms, the host was friendly and we enjoyed our time there although we now know which site we'd choose next time. There were a few other campers around us, some with kids that were very loud and running all around our site but as soon as quiet hours approached they were quiet and asleep. There was no cell service, just so you know.

The camp site was nothing but screaming rude families. Everyone was walking right through my camp site! There was no where for me to put my tent but on a dang hill. The restrooms were disgusting. Over all hating my camping experience there. I’m never going back.

The campground and restrooms were very clean. We had plenty of room to pitch our 5 tents and our camp trailer. However, not enough room to park all our vehicles. We had a double and still ended up parking outside the gate. Not cool.

It was a nice place to stay but not my favorite. The sights don't have a lot of coverage, and were close to the road, depending on the location. There was a little walk you could go on along side the river, but there were a lot of people so it didn't feel like we had really gotten away. I probably will never return.

Never had contact with the host. They usually check when we arrive but this one didn't. He did a good job but would have been nice to have some contact.

We always love staying at this campground. We love how close it is to Pineview and Causey Reservoirs. Also our kids love to float down the river in inner tubes.

I have been coming here since I was little. Love how big the camping spots are, the ease of online reservations and the bathrooms are close. Wish they made the beach access easier to get to though.
