Great location, nice people

We spent the weekend with several families for the weekend if the Lord of the Fork race. Pros- beautiful setting along the river at the base of the mountains. The owners and host are very nice, they even brought a trailer of firewood for campers to use over the weekend. The campground has wifi. RV sites have electric, water and sewer. A charging station is provided for the tent sites. Cons- the campground is overlit at night. They need to lose some of the lights. There is no bath house, just a couple of porta potties surround by a structure with a handwashing station. The host informed us that a new bath house was in the works and coukd be open in November. The railroad tracks are very close, so there is occasional train noise.
