We had a great time here, great environment, next to the river, and great site. The host was nice as well. The only reason I give it a 4 stars is because the bathrooms were dirty, and people would plug up the toilets but there's signs saying that the restrooms are going to be reconstructed so maybe it'll be better later down the road.

Overall good, but the showers and really the whole bathroom was Disgusting… Sure they’re old, but no excuse for them being crusty & SO unclean.🤢(luckily included/no quarters; shifts from lukewarm to cool; no bench & only 1 hook for clothes+). Rob the host was great & friendly👍

This is the most ridiculous campground we've seen in our nearly 2 years of being full-time RVers. The price is good for dry camping with a dump station on site. (except the $8 per booking fee). The grounds are decently clean, didn't check out the bathrooms. However...if you want to be able to enjoy being outside, go somewhere else. The only time it was quiet was 10pm-7am. Apparently there are no rules regarding generator use between 7 am and 10 pm. And there's a frequent guest who runs their very old and very loud generator for 14 hours a day. Straight. Day 3 today. So forget sitting out by a fire or trying to enjoy the wildlife. Using a generator to charge your battery or run an appliance for a bit...fine. These people run it and aren't even in their camper. The host just shrugged and said he knows it annoys everyone but there's nothing he can do. They like to watch TV sometimes. The only thing you could need a generator for, for 14 hours a day in a dry campground, is some illegal activities or because you have medical equipment...in which case go 6 miles away to Buena Vista and pay $12 a night more for hook-ups. How it is allowed to continue (for years, per the host) is beyond me. The environmental impact is disgusting. The noise pollution is like nothing I've experienced. It completely ruined our experience and since the host made it sound like a regular thing? We won't be back for a second try. Really regret not leaving after the first of 3 nights.
