Stayed 2 nights. Very quiet. Plenty of space and no one was crowding anyone else. Easy access tones River and the visitors center was right up the road. Be warned that trains come by frequently. The signs say tents only but we had our 28 ft travel trailer and had no issues. Park folks drive through pretty often and no one says anything. Just take your time going over the train tracks to get there.
They have vault toilets. I did not go in them but my husband did and said they did not smell.

This is ny first free camping stay - so I am just very grateful that it exists. Of course no showers and no sink in toilet, but there is a river access which is very nice. Campground is very nice, mowed and clean. No big trees if you looking for shade on hot days. My stay was march 31-april 1. There is a railroad right there and there ... more

Campground is very nice, mowed and clean. No big trees if you looking for shade on hot days. My stay was march 31-april 1. There is a railroad right there and there was a few trains passing by. Otherwise very quiet, just a few people stayed at the camp. Overall good experience! Would stay here again.

My boyfriend and I stayed here, we slept in my jeep renegade, it says no RV or trailer camping “tent camping only”, but there was a camper staying there with no issues, absolutely enough space for a few smaller rvs. It’s set up in a open field-ish area, with obvious numbered spots, some have picnic tables and camp fire rings. There is not much privacy but we covered the windows and didn’t have any problems. It is a beautiful view all around, with a pretty river within walking distance. There is although an active train track right near by that did wake my boyfriend up, so if you’re a light sleeper be prepared. Internet coverage was pretty good, we were even able to watch a movie on Netflix without issues.

River is right there and has a river access point at far end of campground. Not a very busy area in November and the trains weren’t bad at all. If this place had drinking water it would be perfect.

The campground is in a beautiful setting in a big open meadow. We found that it was the only campground in the national park that had cell service and would handle an RV. And while I hate to complain about something that is free, I have to say that the trains have been annoying. I read a review somewhere that said only 2-3 trains came by a day. That has definitely not been the case. There are probably 8-10 trains/in a 24 hour period.They are loud. Yesterday one stopped by the campground and stayed there for 24 hours. The problem with that was that every few minutes it made noise like it was getting the engine ready to go again. This happened all night long, every few minutes. I had to take one of my over the counter sleeping aids.

Loved this area. Great for large RVs. Is next to rail road tracks. You do have to cross 4 tracks of railroad tracks, but was not bad. It is closed right now due to Covid. I’m hoping next time we come this way it will be open.
