Great location with easily accessible sites. Bathroom was clean and well maintained, was even heated on the cold morning. We stayed in the off season so the spillway was the only open campground. Park was quiet even though it was full. Great view of the spillway and river. Close to town with awesome cell/data coverage. Could even stream movies on the cold rainy night. Look forward to coming back to try another campground. Sheriff and rangers patrolled the campground.

Beautiful fall weather. Full hookups are great. Site was all paved. Close to town and to the lake. All the campers were very friendly. Would love to go there more but reservations are near impossible since so many people reserve weeks and multiple spots.

Clean campground with nice level sites. Fishing and walking/biking trail right there too . Camp host was helpful & friendly. They had a Halloween celebration with costume contest and trick or treating throughout the campground. Very fun & friendly stay. We will be back.

Really nice campground with large spots. Plenty of room between campground spots. Little hilly but that can't be helped. If you like to walk a lot just know it's up and down.
