Loved the location, perfect River access. Nice places to fly fish and hanging out with our friends in a campsite next-door.

This whole campground is really tailored to those with RVs or pop-up trailers. Tentative sites are usually on lumpy ground or there might not really be enough room. Plenty of firewood to scavange. Potable water didn't make us sick. All parking is paved and there is usually great parking in every spot. So plenty of room for a large rv or motor home, plus a car. Please note: The road in is paved but has miles with the occassional potholes shortly after you leave I-90.

Super clean, very close to shadow falls, fishing, hiking and floating spots, wasn’t many people there when we were there, but was quiet. The bathrooms were clean, and there r places to get fresh water. Highly recommend

Great camp site, nice little path to get to the beach if you're not right next to the water. Good location where the water's not too high, I felt safe my kids weren't going to get washed away by a current. Clean site and large trash cans were very nice. Will be camping here again!
