This is a good spot to stay for a few nights.
The good:
There is river rafting and hiking available. It is right on the River.
The not so good:
There are no hookups at all. There is no cell service for about 10 mi. The fees almost double the cost. Close to $30. For this price I can stay a few nights with full hookups. There were a lot of people and activity going on.
If you are into the River and you like being out of contact with everyone, then this is your place. If you want your phone and hookups I would look for something else.

We had 2 spots for 4 nights it was so much fun. We were right on the river. We floated it several times our dogs got to go too. Only one night of people having a party after hours but it was no big deal. We will definitely be going again.

First night, we occupied site 1 at Big Pines - a lovely campsite, but neighboring camper had small tents erected all over his site, and very close to our camper. Next night, we were booked to occupy site 6 at Big Pines - turned out that the site was very unattractive, and we were lead to believe it was a "river view site", which is not correct. We informed campground host that we were leaving and that the site would be availablrfor that day.
