Great Swimming

Enjoyed spending a hot day playing in the river and cooling off. Very quiet campground with pretty large sites. Our site overlooked the river.

Best view around

This is park as minimal amenities, and is pretty far away from anything. The reason to come here is the swimming and the beauty. Site 4 has the best view in the park and it is always the first to go, only down fall is people walk next to it to go to the water and can be rude, but mostly are pretty good. If you want privacy you’re not getting it in this site, but there are smaller sites that offer that. There are vaulted toilets and a small day use area. There is a jumping rock and a few small swimming pools for the kids, great swimming for everyone.

Great swimming, Great views

Steamboat is my favorite local spot. The swimming is so nice, there is something to do for every age and swimming ability. The spots are good sized and most of them have good privacy. It is on Steamboat rd, and the good thing about this Campground, If it is full, there are about 15 dispersed campsites past steamboat on the main road.
