This is our first time here and had family that had stayed here in prior years. This is a very nice to come. Very clean and lots to do for kids with plenty of playgrounds and a city pool across the street. The bathhouse/ rest rooms are clean with hot water. Most of the spots have full hook ups with cement pads. Plenty of shade. Very quiet except for when train comes through town but doesn't last long. Came here on a weekend and wasn't packed lots of open spots. Nice breeze thet was nice to sit outside bugs werent bad at all. Police patrol though which is nice. They have 50/30 amp service. We will be coming back here again.

It was a great weekend. Little windy. The campground was nice. Big spots. Fire pits nice and big, kind of in goofy spots. Within walking distance to town shopping. We will be back.

Stayed here while en-route to SD. Had 7 nights booked and ended up leaving 4 days early because of a bug problem we got at the campground. Sewer and Fruit Flies! We called the county after leaving and lady said they’ve never had a problem reported but they were bad. We tried to get even a partial refund but nope. Wouldn’t stay here again and wouldn’t recommend. The river is more like a water runoff. Trash was in almost every fire ring. People just come in and use the sites without paying and leave their trash. Gave it two stars because at least the bathhouse and toilets were clean. Cute market that sold meat, veggies and spices on Tuesday 3-6pm

awesome place to camp with a family. Plenty of room and full hookups are super nice. Restrooms are clean. The playground in the campsite is the best if you have small kids.
