This campground is terrific. It can be crowded on the weekends, but the week days are wonderful. The park has a creek that runs from the camp ground to the public beach down below. You can take your floating stuff up to the camp area and literally float down stream in 45 minutes or so. There is a place where we usually stop to swim about 2/3 down the slope which is deep and perfect. We haven't noticed too many wild animals, but the nights are quiet (usually) and it does get chilly during the night. Doesn't matter how hot it may be during the day, night is always chilly. Great place...going in July & again in August!
