Fantastic hosts and beautiful scenery!
Our favorite campground to date! The hosts are wonderful, helpful, and kind people. The area is just beautiful, with the river only a few steps away, and there is plenty of room for people and pets to run and play. Lots of fun hiking trails nearby. Two big loops for campers (one first-come first-serve, one for reservations); the hosts were happy to point out the best spots to accommodate our 36-ft fifth-wheel. Clean restrooms with water spigots at each. We all love everything about this place!
Wonderful spot
Plain and simple. No electric, water or dump hookups but water and toilets available. Reported to get busy when the fishing is better than when we were there - apparently the river was too high.
Nice enough BLM campground
18 to 20 sites. Half reservable other half FCFS. Good flat sites. Water and bathroom. Lots of drift boats good fishing can be noisy on weekends. Plenty if big rig space. No cellular available, any carrier.
