Customer Feedback: "Great place. Quiet and out of the way. The cabins are nice, haven't stayed in one yet. I come to hunt and haul my camper. Campground is nice." "Our family of 8 enjoyed this campground and the people were great to work with. Came out for the eclipse and would have stayed longer if not for the rain and thunderstorms coming and us in our tents. They have power and water and sewage hookups. Some ponds to fish and play, great view of the river and landscape leveling on the campsites restrooms and showers."

I can never say thank you enough to Phil and Tracy for their hospitality and such a beautiful place to stay when we were in need. You have a magical place that is so very beautiful. We wish you both the very best. Michelle and Brett

We had to use their dock as winds were getting dangerous, nobody around, so we will pick up trash in the area and spend some money in town.

Stayed at the campground. They have a vineyard, rooms, cabins and a beautiful view of the Ohio river. Only thing is what i hate about camping anyway. The bathrooms for campers are a ways from some of the sites and did not always lock. But they have not been open that long so they are getting there
