Tucked away campground

Small campground tucked away from highway. Right on shore of river/resevoir. Heavily used train tracks on opposite shore, so you get some train noise but not horrible. Bugs can get nasty with the slow water. Good fishing area.

Be aware that the slow-moving water can lead to increased bug activity, especially during warmer months, so pack appropriate insect repellent if you plan to fish for extended periods.
