I came from father's day weekend 2026, with my family and and we left after staying only one night. We had decided to tent camp. The majority of the tent sites here do not have shade, The ones that do not have fire rings. There was a vast amount of garbage spread around Especially on the beaches. The camp hosts did nothing to mitigate the exceptionally loud music and tent campers using very large obnoxious generators. I was screamed at by some lady with no teeth for driving too fast. Even though the posted speed limit is 5 And my car's digital speedometer said, I was driving 4. And for some reason on Saturday, they turned off the water in the middle of the day to the tent sites. There was only one portable toilet all of the tent sites, and the bathrooms with showers are clear across the park. I have been a thousand trails member for a number of years. Now, this is by far the worst experience i have had with them.

The stay here wasn't great. They only have one portable toilet in the tent site area. Only a few of the tent sites have fire rings and unfortunately we were unable to get a site with a fire ring. Every site also does not have a picnic bench. It is nice to have the river for kids to play in and to do some fishing. It is also very close to stores and restaurants which was also nice. I will say the two ladies that run the place are very nice and easy to get ahold of if you need anything

I stayed here in a recreational vehicle. The staff is very helpful and friendly, and all things considered the park is well-maintained. I (and I'm sure other EV owners) wish that they would enter into an agreement with chargepoint to establish an electric vehicle charging station here. Currently, there's a Tesla model s as well as a cybertruck owner staying here at the park. I too would like to be able to charge my PHEV at the park as well.

Great park. Pretty busy in early March already so get your reservations in as early as possible. Great camp hosts and personnel. The 2 lane road coming in and out is pretty tight so beware.
