Couldn't even check things out without being harassed by national forest service people. How in the hell do they expect to have anyone camp at national state forest if they can't check it out before hand. It's like buying a car without looking at it

Host goes around telling people he's allergic to marijuana and it's not legal there. But he allows a 2 hour family screaming hitting match continue into the dead of the night. I paid 35 bucks a night at a rustic campground to get no sleep Saturday night. Why he didn't call the police I have no clue.

Host was really nice, campsites along the River were great. The fee structure is super confusing and disadvantages canoe campers. $35 per site for drive in (up to 8 people). $15 PER PERSON for the canoe and walk-in sites. And this being per person is not listed anywhere online or on the signage at the site. (Host said sign is being updated soon). It’s a ridiculous fee structure that a family of 3 will pay $45 for a walk-in site when 8 people can stay at a drive-in site for only $35. Make it make sense!?

Tent camping. Nice well maintained campground. Sites are large. Some are not fully level so check the information on site. Large picnic table. Parking enough for 2 cars. Only reason not 5 star is that no shower on premises. Camp host is great and can tell you where you can get a shower. He does enforce park policies so don't plan parties after quiet hours. Cell Service was okay. Would be happy to come back.

We camped at site 21 right next to the river. Beautiful view and there was a nice path down to the river and a shallow area. It got a little loud being directly across from the kayak launch. Dog friendly!
