Love this campground! It is clean, well maintained and quiet! There are paved sites with full hook-up, a laundry and bathhouse (which is clean and spacious), staff is friendly and helpful! Looking forward to camping in our seasonal spot starting in May!
Friendly campers and the owners keep the campground in amazing condition. Beautiful grounds and next to the river. Cooler summer temps in the high country. Been going here for several years and highly recommend.
2023 was our 3rd year as seasonal campers. DBTR is an Awesome campground. It’s always sad when the season is over😢. Not only are we leaving wonderful friends for 6 months - but the serenity and beauty of the campground. Can’t wait until May 1.
Very clean, quiet and nicely groomed campground with excellent sites for campers.
This is a great campground. Very fair price, very level concrete pads, asphalt drive, and quite. Very quick to reply management and manicured lawns. Wonderful river & small creek bordering the property. Very nice temperature the entire time the campground is open. Issues: VERY limited TV stations via antenna and NO cable hookup. The grass is mowed very often and you will be advise at check in to be ready to move your tow vehicle. The only other issue is the sometimes other campers who feel the need to burn leaves & rotten wood. They smoke up all surrounding campers. Washer and dryers are 1.50 each. Not too many people washing pet bedding which is nice. Clean bath house.
