I’m 25 now and I’ve been coming here since I was 6, with my dad. I do miss the old owners , however the people that bought this business have done such an amazing job at revamping the campground. It’s more lush and they really put some care into the place. I do miss the shed by the beach where you used to be able to play darts, as well as the arcade room but I probably wouldn’t go into either nowadays anyways. Last year for the first time I did notice 2 people living on the grassy fields, one in an old RV and the other under a tarp that clearly looked homeless. That’s a little worrying. But I’ll be back again this year once it opens up and hopefully their not there. I think the owners let them stay for the summer which is unlike them but it seemed to be Covid related. Many more good times to come at this park. I would recommend anyone to bring your family here! Stay safe an keep on keepin on!

Just finished 4 nights here. We loved it! View of the river, nothing beats the sound of the water rushing over the rocks. Amenities all very clean and our site was plenty big enough. Already planning on when we can return. Thank you Parry's for a wonderful time.

We absolutely loved this campgrounds, we loved the creek and beach, we were originally just going to stay one night and soon realized we needed more time so we asked and they accommodated us so nicely. The owners were great, some of the reviews said they were cranky but we had no issues and we were right by their house. Big beautiful trees in the campground and there were lots of kids for our kids to make friends with. It was great!
