Basic amenities, not bad for a local getaway.

USE THE ADDRESS ON THE WEBSITE, NOT FROM THIS APP

This campsite is actually about 25 miles or so south from what the app is showing on here, use the website listed above to get the correct address. All RV sites with electric, about 10 near the lock & dam and 5 further down the road near the trail head/old boat ramp. The camp sites further back are better shaded and near restrooms. First come first serve, as far as I could tell. Not much to do besides camp & fish, no swimming allowed. The boat dock near the trail head was closed & dried up. The trail is very short, flat, & paved, leads to a nice overlook of the confluence. I camped closer to the lock & dam, it was decent. The activity at the lock & dam was loud during early morning. No shade on one side but fire ring, electric, & picnic table provided. Paid $20. I will go back & try to snag a better site for a weekend & explore the visitor center.
