Loved the campground. Excellent host. Stayed in space 14 which was listed as a back in but we ended up driving in facing the river. It’s a good spot for a big rig. Ours is 40 ft.

The campground is nice and quite. Hiking and fishing nearby. There are strict quiet times you need to obey by.

NO WATER! Our poor camp host told us that she was having trouble with water Repair and was having to go into town to collect water for hand washing at the bathroom and also for cleaning up the bathrooms. She said some repairman came and looked at the part needed for repair of the water supply and left and never came back
Camp host was amazing! and very apologetic about the water. She was told it would be fixed in a few days and that was days before we showed up.
Campsite was clean and well cared for the bathrooms were amazingly clean
