Unfortunately a disappointing campground. It's likely better in the summer, as we visited during the offseason. Porta potties were completely full and hadn't been serviced since November. Trash cans were not wildlife proof. Despite being labeled as a scan to pay campsite on official government websites no such method of payment was available, and they were all out of pay slips. No potable water available. Northern loop is wide open with no privacy in any of the campsites (can look straight down the road all the way to the entrance and every site in between). Pricing is the same despite lack of amenities, it was like dispersed camping but worse. Campsites on the far side do back up to the river, and we saw plenty of big looking trout during our stay, so if you're coming here for the fishing I definitely recommend it. But I don't think we'll visit here again.

Good campground for spring and fall. Not maintained as well as it could be. I had to trim the tree at my site before I backed in my trailer to avoid roof damage. Most sites have partial shade.

Campground is clean and well cared for, lots of spaces to choose from, and flushing toilets and running sinks! Only downside is the water is freezing. But we were able to swim in it because it was a 105!

I had a lovely stay here in July 2025 out of 50 site only 3 were occupied — me, one other set of campers and the camp hosts. So I felt like I had the place to myself. Perfect quiet and solitude, for me! I was skeptical at first because it’s right on the road. And I’ve turned that up on the south Hu River before and it wasn’t very restful. But I’ve been here for hours and I think I’ve only heard a couple of cars go by the entire time. There is a sweet little trail spanning most of the length of this big campsite, along the water. Very hot in July. you could probably fry an egg on one of these stone picnic tables, if it’s sitting in the full sun. But there is shade at probably every site at some point in the day, some more than others. it’s very level so perfect for people traveling in an RV or camper. Some of the parking spots were huge! i’m guessing that’s to leave space for your boat trailer? I was here on a Tuesday night so I don’t know how popular a place is one the weekends. But with the lake right here I imagine it’s a desirable summer camping spot. The camp hosts keep the restrooms spic and span and fully supplied. I enjoyed myself immensely just sitting at the water’s edge at perfect peace.

Campground hosts are awesome they checked on us and even brought us firewood. Fire pits are nice. We cooked on ours. No hook-ups for the trailer. Large sites with lots of room to play. I have a 33' pull trailer. Some of the spots would be very difficult to get into.
