The rushing river was loud but relaxing. The camp host alone was worth the stay and super helpful/pleasant. Our campsite had an area for the camper then a space for the fire/table and kids running around. Bathroom locations were close and convenient. We did the river trail hike which was fun but didn’t time the fishing right for this trip. The campsites were a good walk away from the camp host but had a joined trail along the back of the sites. It felt a little out in the open but the children had fun.

Pleasant on the river stay

Center campsites are pull and 26 is pretty large. There is everything you expect from a State recreation site.

Great place to stay for a few days while fishing. We only slept here as we spent most of the day fishing and it was perfect for our needs. It wasn't crowded and we had everything we needed.


Simple but great

Just what we needed for a quick night’s stopover. Very quiet and clean. We enjoyed a nice hike down to the river. Would happily stay here again.
