Extremely helpful when calling about reservations and to sign up for the senior discount card. Nice campground, clean toilets, and a camp host. A lovely campground to return to.

Loved site 10. Direct river access and tucked back a little bit for some privacy. Partial shade depending on time of day. Right by the bathroom. Not far from trash or water. We had a great time and will come back!

Campground is right along the river. Traffic dies down after 5 and it becomes nice and quiet.

Always a great place to camp! Did need to encourage the camp host to clean the bathroom and resupply toilet paper. After a friendly talk he got right on it. We so appreciated that action.
