We had a Cub Scout Pack campout here, and it was perfect for us. There was a noisy group off to the back, but that was the only issue. There is no electricity unless you get an RV site, but we managed fine without. There are full bathrooms right at the campsites, and they are basic, but adequate.

Basic sites, close to home, excellent nature center

Awesome park about ten minutes outside of Florence. Has an environmental learning center. A canopy boardwalk in the trees. Kayak loading dock. And small campground with archery course. 

Great little spot for everyone 

Booking is easy, and staff are very friendly. Most of the sites are in the center of a loop road. Sites 1 &amp; 2 have power and are outside the loop. Site 1 is back in, 2 is pull thru. Sites 8 &amp; 9 are outside the loop and the most “remote”, with 9 being more-so. The rest of the sites are in the loop. 

Quiet, nice sites.

Camped here only one night as a layover on way to another destination. Small camping area with only couple rv sites with other sites for tent camping. Went for nice hike near river. Nice nature center. Plenty of things for day visitors to do at the park. Was even a very nice splash park for warmer weather activities and a nice archery range. Would visit again.

Very nice area to camp

What a gem of a little campground. Stopped here 2 nights driving from NC to LA. I was the only person here those 2 nights. This place feels off grid with the convenience of hookups. Despite being small, it was very clean, everything worked as expected. Archery range, trails, nature center. Would come back here just to stay!

Decent cell coverage. I stayed in site 1, there was a big clearing where I dropped the starlink - had great connection the entire visit.
