Great place to stay. We stayed in a walk up tent site in late September. The weather was great and the campground was well maintained. The river running along the north east side of the campground was amazing. The drive to this camp ground goes through several old and small railroad tunnels making the approach to it interesting.

It is a winer now, Cannot see sites, just edit counted picknick tables, assuming amount of sites, 7-8. Beautuful scenery, steps to the river. Bridge just almost over one site, interesting not knowing if rail toad busy or active. Open year around. Bathroom is open. Self registration, if you are coming.

Basic campground, cool bridge, hiking trails, by the river. Lots of water access traffic, no shade.

One of the AHRA' many campgrounds and boat launches. The fees are quite high (daypass $9 and camping fee $22 at the time of writing this) go towards garbage removal, cleaning restrooms, and maintaining these awesome new sites. All equipped with firepits and stone picnic tables. The sites are spaced nicely and situated on the river.

Don't come here..... It's the best place in the valley.... By far the most fun I've had on one road.
