The park was beautiful and the campsite was spacious for a large group. The gazebos were a perfect gathering space for family and friends and the lighting made meal preparation much easier. The campsite location was convenient for campers wanting to boat along the Sacramento River. The showers and bathrooms were clean despite always having bugs in the sink. The cabins were tidy and large enough for 4 people and their belongings. It was especially accessible for disabled individuals. My only concern was the trail at the back of the campsite. I noticed that people would cut through the camp as a shortcut and intrude on the privacy of those who had reserved the site.
