Camp sight was nice. The pavilion is rented was good. But there was a party in the pavilion next to me playing extremely loud music way into the night. Not a good peaceful relaxing experience i would have preferred.

We always enjoy Cherokee park. Close to the river, clean restrooms (for a park), staff on top of everything. not a lot of crowds. everyone is friendly to one another. Fishing is not great, unless you can get past all the turtles. Once they see you tour done.

Cherokee is VERY hard to find with little signage. Not sure that recreation.gov emphasizes that it is located in Cherokee Park. Trash receptacles are few and far between, so our campsite prior residents had put all trash in the fire ring (cans, bottles etc). Overall the campground is spacious, nice water view and has the electric/water hookup. Just needs to have more clarity about where it is! Also, there is one road back to main highway that has 9.5 ft clearance, and was recommended by GPS. We would have torn the roof off of our small trailer if we had not seen it at the last minute. Neighbors there looked like they frequently encountered tall vehicles having to back up a block to save their vehicle.

Nice area. Bathrooms could use some work but not terrible. All in all a good trip!
