We found this campground at the last minute for our road trip vacation and were able to book a site very easily. When we got here later in the evening we found that our site was a decent size. We got our tent up and started to unload for the night, we found that a train goes through every few hours! For some it’s an annoyance but for us it was a nice part of the ambiance. When we woke up the next morning we found that this place was pretty great, our campsite was very close to the bathroom so we took our shower. The bathrooms are in better shape than some hotels! Best water pressure I’ve ever felt at a campsite and free with your site!! Checkout is at noon so have your things ready to move if you’re not an early bird! Anyway the site and the amenities were amazing. If you want to do laundry washers are $2 and dryers are $2.5. There are dog friendly so we were able to bring our dog. The place is very clean and peaceful. Only noise we experienced was the road traffic and the train. We enjoyed the experience so much we extended our stay for a while other night. We will certainly be back for future trips!
We stayed here in early August 2024 from a Saturday to Tuesday. The sites were large and fit our tents and gazebo. The ground was nice with short grass, and trees to give us shade. The bathroom/shower house was clean and really nice. The guys played Disc Golf on the course one morning and enjoyed that. It was close to places we wanted to visit. It was pretty quiet, and neighbors were pleasant. We would definitely stay here again!
Nice campground, large sites, pretty scenery on the river. Only downside was some highway noise from US2/41, but it wasn’t too bad, traffic slowed and it quieted down in the evening.
Great place to unwind, very well maintained. Reasonable price.
Average campground. Okay for lodging purposes if you plan to spend most of the time traveling. River sites should be designated just like regular sites as they don't offer a great view or access. Bugs and mosquitoes were problematic along the woodline. Lots of train noise throughout the day and night. Nice playground area.
Clean, easy to find, nice site, quiet. Restrooms were impressively clean. Staff member who greeted us wasn't too friendly, but that didn't ruin our stay. Hiking trails beautiful, nice location by the river. Would visit again. Stayed August, 2020.
