Richard Mack
The drive over the dam then below the dam was amazing. What a way to enter the campground. Great hosts. Easy to find and back into sites. 54 is water front all are paved and level. Clean bathrooms. Had a great two night stay.

Loved this campground. We had a beautiful fairly level river side site but all are nice with most having at least some shade. Bathrooms were very clean. The fish hatchery across the road was an interesting visit. We had a neighbor who had an apparent black tank leak that caused a nasty smell and flies. Office dealt with it right away. Groceries, laundromat, and restaurants less than 20 minutes away.

We fished here at the boat launch area. Great fishing area. The campground is okay... a lot of the camping spots do not have very good shade.

I absolutely loved this place, the water flowing, and people out fishing for trout, it was beautiful and peaceful. I recommend it to anyone traveling that way.
