Such a beautiful place to get away and unwind for a few days 😌 The campsites are somewhat spacious and spread out, and most offer some shade and privacy. Some sites run along the river as well. There are a few portal patties throughout the camp but no showers or electricity. She does also has a large container of water you can use to clean dishes or whatnot. The campsites have a fire pit (no grill top), and a decent-sized area to prep food or use as a table for whatever. There are no picnic tables on site. For $10 a night(cash)- it’s a peaceful, safe place to get away and reconnect with nature. I had the pleasure of speaking with the owner, Jane, for a little bit while visiting. She’s a wonderful lady with a massive heart for nature, family, and children ❤️ There is a Dollar General about 10-12 minutes away and a small grocery store a few minutes further out. Thanks for the peaceful getaway Jane! I hope to visit again soon!
Best Camping sites!! We had a blast. (Many more trips to come). Thank you.
Took a last minute camping trip with 7 kids. Owners were kind and friendly. Love the area and the river.
Awesome place. Easy access. Love this place, I will definitely visit again. Oh, I can't forget. I caught my first trout here at age 55. Loved it. Thanx guys.
We absolutely loved our stay! Super accommodating, excellent views, cozy riverside sites. Short drive to hiking trails and mountain overlooks.
