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.

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.

Beautiful park. Very dark at night; bring flashlights. Mature trees and green grass. Several spots right next to river. Lots of ducks, geese & tree squirrels. Close to Ming lake. Grounds are well taken care of and clean. Restrooms dirty but we brought our own. They advertised showers but they don't work. Broken sink in one restroom and the other restroom is closed for repairs.

We absolutely love it here! Very spacious sites with some right on the river! Ming Lake is a rocks throw away for some fishing! Can't wait to go back! UPDATE!!! The second time we came back they had gardeners doing cleanup and maintenance at 7:30 in the morning they even had a tree Shredder making lots of noise it was a disaster this trip I don't know if they do that continually but it definitely made our trip very annoying

The water is so fresh we always have a good time here. My advice if your kids get in the water get them a life vest! The view is so beautiful that's one thing that I love about this place
