park review stars; one to five I loved the campground, the scenery, everyone was very friendly.Only one thing I would like to see different is a recycle bin sitting with the dumpsters. Seems like such a waste all 4 dumpsters going to landfills when the majority could be going to recycling.
November 10 Just love the place by KWErick
park review stars; one to five
May 31 Good size sites, but not private enough by kersch19
park review stars; one to five Not great for privacy unless you can get a site by the riverfront or a nice walk-in. Walk-ins are also scarce as they have cut back from over 60 to 23. We stayed from 5/26-5/31. People walked through our site(103) quite a bit to get to the restrooms. But, most of the sites are a decent size and the park does have a great atmosphere. Still, we are looking into camping at private campgrounds this year.
