Bathroom is passable, nothing fancy. Dock could use some tending to. Overall, decent. 

Very quaint and quiet area 

Small, quite, clean camp ground. Perfect for one on one time with yourself or spouse to really spend time with each other. 

Quite and exhilarating.

This was a great little free location to camp along the river. I was able to get the spot at the end of the lot that's surrounded by water on three sides. There's no electric here but there are little tables, fire pits, and lantern posts, as well as a couple dumpsters and a restroom. Sky was clear and cool the evening I stayed, would definitely camp here again.

Great spot on the river

I used the directions from the app and it took us to a road that said no trespassing. We obviously turned around. It was also getting dark so I didn’t want to keep looking.

Great stopover 

Me and my daughter came here to camp to go to the Renaissance Festivle. It was nice by the water.

Clean, peaceful, quiet campsite. 

When I arrived there was stragglers hanging out either fishing or just hanging out. Once they were asked to leave, they left without an issue. Camp supervisor stated that the one guy gets run off all the time. Not sure why. They also said to watch for raccoons and snakes. The campsite looks good. I will add more pictures and videos after a couple days to update my review. I choose site 15 based off other reviews on the app.
