We camped here 4 nights in June 2021. Our site, 32B is probably the nicest one here - great views down the river, access for kayaking or fishing, all day shade - almost perfect.

Only drawback is that the site is pretty close to site #33, nothing to separate the sites. I’m amazed there are no reviews on here for 2021 even though campground almost full Friday & Saturday night. Staff very friendly, grounds clean & well maintained. We’ll be back if we’re in this area again.

Our stay was split between site 52 (ADA site) and site 48. 52 was fine other than the odd layout that backed in very close to the Camp Host site. Site 48 however, was directly under a huge black walnut tree that was dropping the walnuts on to our 5th wheel all night! It sounded like someone throwing baseballs at our trailer. There were also a tremendous amount of fallen walnut husks on the ground, rotting, and attracting a lot of gnats. The campground itself was ok but could have been better if those rotten walnuts were cleaned up from time to time.

Great place! Glad we did not camp at either end, The end near the entrance is more in the sun and near the bridge where people see how loud their cars trucks and bikes can be. The other end had a cranes nest (great to watch) but their squawking and crying all night was crazy. Site 31 is a massive spot with dual tables and can easily fit a large party. We booked 31 and 32 with our friends and never used our spot. Instead I pulled thru and our friends backed in so we were awning to awning. Site 31 is mostly sunny where 32 is under a large tree. We had a late afternoon shade. There are no sewer connections but the dump station is not far away. Our Lab (13 years old) swam all day in the river until she could barely make it back to the campground, my kids and I were fishing on and off all day, and we walked the campground and played on the playground. Great place for families or a place to relax and enjoy nature.

I stayed here just one night in late October 2019 and found the staff friendly and helpful. The bathhouse was clean. My site was at the very end and had a nice view of the water. There was plenty of room though for me in my 20' motorhome not much is needed. The sites have water and 30amp hookups. My site was level and that was really appreciated. I was surprised at how busy the campground was on a Thursday. I had good cell signal both on Verizon and AT&T. The one knock I might give the place is for noise as even as far away as I was I could hear traffic noise from the nearby road though it wasn't terrible.

Have stayed here twice. Both times for 2 nights each. River an one side and forested hill on the other. Both times were peaceful and relaxing. Not a lot but decent space between most sites. Many sites are just 10-15 feet from river. Clean both times. Camped in 32’ travel trailer.
