Terrific place to camp for a short stay. Quiet location located along the river path. Camping on grass, but the grass is level and solid--even after a good rain. No sewer on site, but electric and water work fine. There is a dump station near the office. Price is very reasonable, especially if you have Passport America. I would definitely come again.

Was a wonderful campground. Very well maintained. Very level on our spot. We didn't have to use any leveling blocks at all. Will be back again

Nice camp ground with friendly staff. Lower larger camp sites have no sewage hook ups but hey have power and water.

This is a nice campground with big sites. It has music twice a month and an ice cream shack on site. The pool looks nice but we did not use it. Our site was on the river where we saw lots of wildlife. Many walking trails. The only negative is the bath house was nasty. Mold and mildew and very dirty floors. Overall it was a nice experience.
