On one level this is an amazing, barely known gem for cheap weekend camping that's almost never full. On another level, it's the Wild West, so don't expect toilet paper or respectful neighbors at all times. Right off the river. There are better sites than others but be prepared for people to walk through your campsite to access the river. Also people park in the campsites for tubing, but aren't staying there.
The road going in is rough as all hell, but it's a lovely campground. The host, Sabrina, is awesome, and one heck of a rock painter. It truly is a beautiful setting.
Gorgeous campground nestled in the woods next to the river. Great for a nature getaway!
Great place for a campground. Bathrooms often are pretty stinky. There is trash service, water spigots and river access.
Always clean bathrooms and hostes is always nice. Love this place
