Showers don't work but maybe they just have them on during spring and summer idk, but bathrooms can be used in an emergency probably 24/7 from what I can tell. Everything else is basic across the board, sign says it's 26$ overnight... So I guess to camp or park which is pretty hefty all things considered, wouldn't recommend for it for much other than fishing and having a cookout by the water with the family but to each there own.

One of our favorite COE campgrounds to stay at. Bathrooms/ showers are very clean and well kept. Only complaint is, A/C would be nice during the summer.

We stayed in site D10. The gentleman who met us at the check-in point was friendly and helpful. The campground was clean and quiet. The campsite was a good size and well spaced apart from our neighbors. The picnic table was covered with a wood gazebo. We had an accessible site and I believe they have plenty of those. The thing about that was to get from our camper to the picnic table using my walker I had to go over a slight incline of landscaping rocks. We tried laying a rug across the rocks to make me a path, but that didn't work, and I was not able to cross from one side to the other without assistance. Still a nice site, but not completely accessible for me. AT&T phone and Wi-Fi were hit or miss, but we did get several over the air TV channels.

Very clean, well kept, level concrete RV pads, close to the water, partial shade, picnic tables, shade booth, paved road, and spacious sites. Here is an idea though to improve. Take the speed bumps out!!!! And put in shallow dips. I resent having to rearrange my RV because some idiot thinking bumps are the only way to slow traffic.

Great place to watch the barges come through. We camped at site D3. The restrooms were okay. They could have been better maintained.

We only stopped for the night, but the entire park was clear, well maintained, and beautiful. It is also well laid out to be able to maneuver in with a 38' fifth wheel attached. The tent sites are all up front at the beginning, and the powered RV sites to the back. As a former tent camper, the layout would be better if swapped so people aren't driving by the tents at all hours. But on a Saturday night in March the park was devoid of tents and only had a handful of RVs. The bathrooms were clean and stocked, showers were hot and the heaters work to make a pleasant experience.

Me and my son came here for the Cub Scouts and we had a great time. I highly recommend anyone looking to have a great peaceful time to come check it out and relax. You can go hiking, fishing, have a cookout, whatever you and your family want to do.

Spent one night here before the eclipse in 2024. Very nice place. Spacious campsites, covered picnic tables . Lots of firewood available. Very quiet. A little out of the way but worth the drive. No sewer hook up but does have a dump station,
