Les Weber
What pleasant people to work with. Our plans changed so we had to cancel our reservation. My first call I had to leave a message, which always makes me nervous that I'll never hear back. Jennifer called me back, was helpful and pleasant to talk to. Completely happy with the interaction.

Very nice RV park, a lot of camping spots. With the American the Beautiful Pass, admission is free, camping is $12 a night. They have showers, and a small laundry room- 3 washers and 3 dryers. They have a marine, one can rent boats. There is a restaurant & prices are reasonable. Will definitely go there again when in the area.

Nice campground with nice host. Shared water spigots, flush toilets, dumpsters, paid showers,paid laundry, boat launch, with views of the river in the distance. You might even see donkeys.

We stayed here over a weekend in November for our first family camping trip. The grounds were clean and restrooms are well looked after. We did some fishing over at the lake (not so much catching). The weather was perfect and couldn't have asked for a better first time camping.

Great place to camp and enjoy the outdoors. The marina is close by and there is plenty of activities available for the whole family.
