Small but charming campground

Pros:Small campground with limited sites. Nice for a quick and quiet getaway. It has a creek on one side and broad River on the other side. The sites are near the River so you get to enjoy the running water sound as you sleep or relax. Can let your kids ride their bikes around with out worry and they are never out of site. The sites are mostly shaded. Nice little store for some basic items. Very nice zip line attractive down the road. Tube rental for floating the River. Cons: small bathhouse but the water pressure was nice. Small playground for the kids, game room is run down a bit.

Quiet Weekend

This place is a hidden gem. Sites run along a small creek. Center of the grounds has two playgrounds, net, and sand box. They allowed my children to ride their small gator around all weekend. Friendly people. Will be back.

right on the river

to owner/ manager was a bit rude and not helpful, but it was nice to be on the river, the river sites all have tarps over all the sites which was cool! pretty close to your neighbors. we did end up getting evacuated cause of rain which was a bummer.
