campground was beautiful we had site on the river. clean, staff welcoming. only 4 stars because the sites are on large rocks bigger than typical driveway rocks. this makes walking on your site uncomfortable even with rug. my dogs did not like it either hard to lie down and be comfortable.
Lovely little campground by the river, with hiking trails and small playground. It was nice and quiet but we were also there in late Fall.

Absolutely enjoyed camping here. Heather was awesome upon arrival and throughout my two days there. It sits next to a river which was beautiful and peaceful especially listening to it falling asleep. Even though I was in a tent I took advantage of the electric to charge camera batteries and electronic devices.
The showers were literally infested with Beatles and the bathrooms the men’s bathroom had a trough as a urinal and there were no locks on the stalls by the playground river was amazing though. Kid friendly with the no cussing rule and no excessive drinking the showers alone make me not want to come back again but if those get fixed then it would be greatly considered.
