GuideThere are two side to this campground on one side there are fees to stay on the other side free camping. Great for fishermen and woman. Lots of people were fishing during our stay. They fish all day and all night night if it isn't pouring the rain. Great view of the river. We went past the picknick tables and camp spots to the end of the road and stayed 2 nights. Caught a few fish and enjoyed watching the others fish too.
GuideNice graveled road to get back in on very nice spot for anyone who likes the out doors and no crowds. Would recommend this spot for the outdoor lovers.
GuideFor $16 we got a quiet, shaded spot by the lake with clean showers. Since we only carry a camp shower and privacy is a bit hard to come by in this part of the country, it was a worthwhile investment.
