Quiet night

Better than I expected. Camp host was friendly and helpful. Bathroom was clean although stalls have no doors. I did not use the showers but I looked in and they were clean. There is a nice paved walk/bike path along the river. It was quiet once it got dark. Slept with my windows open and heard no traffic or trains.

Tenting also available, but not well marked

This is a pleasant, quiet spot in a great park. There are two giant playgrounds to keep the kids busy. The toilets are OK, but just what you'd expect at a public park, nothing fancy. There were no showers. Trailer spots (7? available) have electricity, water and sewer hookups for $20 per night. Tenting is $5, which we didn't know because it's not marked on the price board or envelopes. However, after setting up for the night, a camp host told us there was a separate, cheaper tenting area on the eastern side of the trailer area. The picnic tables are really nice molded plastic, so no splinters.

Juuuust Fine!

I stayed there for a whole weekend. The reason to stay was to Frisbee golf and camp ALL weekend. The babe a nice 18 hole course throughout the park. Sheltered bathrooms and drinking fountains were just a few of the amenities offered at the grounds. There is tent camping along with RV spots with electricity for both. As it is in a small town setting as well, it is quiet with little light pollution so to view the stars decently enough. All in all it was a good path for families to hang out in and also a nice place to camp.
