Love coming to walk or even find a nice tree to lay and read a book. My dog loves going on walks here it’s very spacious and gorgeous

It's close and easy to get to. The camp ground is very nice with alot of trees and the sound of the river, (especially at night when going to sleep), is very peaceful. They have brand new bathrooms and showers . Loved this place will definitely be back!!!

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 one of my favorite camp sites!!! My fiancé and I go there all the time, the camp host (Rob/ Bob) is such a nice man! He’s always very welcoming and very helpful!!!! Love this place. So relaxing and peaceful.
