Owners not on site, but only 5 minutes away and very friendly, just call ahead of time and they will meet you here. Quiet and peaceful, very relaxing. Bit on the expensive side, $200 for 3 nights (autumn) and I'm not even plugged in (I generate my own power). Right on the water with their own private island, complete with kayaks, fire ring and picnic table. 2 room bath house, concrete floors are cold during fall, so bring something to stand on to keep from freezing your feet. Overall, 4 out of 5 stars.
5 stars for location, amenities are matching to location and better than you'd expect, grounds are well kept, people are friendly and quiet as well as it's about 60/40 year round residents to regular campers, so there's very little activity after dark and there has been zero crime in my 9 months of enjoying the views of the river and the bluffs. The only negative thing one could complain about is the lack of internet, cell reception ( AT&T and Verizon ) and cable TV. Get a T-Mobile WIFI hotspot and use internet TV. Problem solved on all fronts for 35 bucks a month. P.S. Good luck trying to get in, but it's worth the wait compared to the other parks / pricing in the tri-cities area. Give Ms. Pratt a call, she's super nice and will respond.
Cute place down by the lake has walk way they have events down there. Just very beautiful place has a little red train. You can have picnics lunch or sit watch the water just lovely!
Small, not a lot of amenities but if you just want a clean, quiet, neat place to camp where you can access the river and lake- this is GREAT
Dont be fooled this is a rv ground and most residents that actually live at the place and the island is a small islamd with no camping on it
