The camp host was awesome! The group site was beautiful, situated right next to the river with plenty of spots for all our tents. Parking was great with a spot for our school bus and 5th wheel. Bathrooms were clean as was the entire campsite.

Love this campground! Went at the end of July and again at the end of August. Both times were great but the wildlife was more exciting to see in July. Hosts are knowledgeable and friendly, campground is clean and the river is beautiful. Family favorite!

We stayed at the only site with electricity. The deck built near the river with a picnic table and fire pit was perfect! The camp hosts were very friendly and helpful.

Very nice campground. The spots on the river are amazing. Camp directors were great. Sites are a bit small so plan accordingly. Also, you can’t park next to your site so you have to haul all gear to site.
