Erica Gagnon
Great campground. The river was awesome. However, there was a group of people that came and set all their stuff up on the beach outside our camper.. they also had river front sites so it was just weird and very awkward. They blocked our access and didn’t seem to care. Also had multiple people walk the river and cut through our sites with dogs. Not proper campground etiquette and was just overall rude and inconsiderate. Not the campgrounds fault by any means, but are people that clueless these days?
