Beautiful park and location. Rules have changed recently. Online reservations only, no longer first come, first served. Tent camping is no longer allowed other than having a tent for children at your site with your RV. Some have asked why tent camping was stopped. The only answer I have (unofficially) is that there were more and more problems with homeless people. I witnessed this first hand. The campground does need some work. The powers that be have been promising to do a complete makeover, but it that remains to be seen. I live locally and enjoy camping here. I recommend this campground.

Great campground. Spaced ok. Bathrooms need TLC. Laundry needs TLC. Management allows 20 day stays with 2 days out then another 20 days. The homeless are abusing the system. Good luck getting a spot during high season. It's first come, first serve.

You have a river behind and in front. First come first served. Lots are spacious with stone picnic tables. We enjoyed being by the river. The campground does shut down the gate after 11pm without anyone managing it which sucks otherwise of have given it a 5 star.

Nothing on the website/ brochure/ camp ground signage said that Primitive Camping is no longer available throughout the entire park. So when I arrived at dusk on a Sunday night after a long 12 hour drive, I set up camp. We built a fire, ate a meal, and went to bed. 1030 a trooper woke us from our sleep with blaring lights and through a speaker told us to “abandon our post. “ Who says that, nerd? Update your signs! The website said the camp office was open til 8. We got there at 7. No one was around. And what respectable camp site does NOT have tent camping? You have ALL of that river real estate and no one can use it. Like me, who is touring this great nation and the park can’t provide me a place just because I don’t have a CAMPER. SHAME!

Had a little art's and crafts show with live music when we visited. Pretty location by the river. Had a marina restaurant on the water, but we didn't visit it. There was a cruise boat docked on the river.
