RangerNot a bad little campground
Not a bad little campground. Well kept, bathrooms clean, playground in great condition. We are in site 13 with no shade….
ScoutNice find!
This was our first time at this campground. It’s a beautiful find. Small with only 15 sites but they are all concrete level pads. Easy access to the River. Absolutely beautiful mornings with the fog over the water to look at while you sip your coffee. The sites are spaced well apart. No bad sites here. The bathrooms and bathhouse were clean and within easy walking distance. They are very friendly and have a local farmer that brings fresh produce by on Saturday evenings. We chose this because it was only an hr from our home. We will definitely be back.
ScoutLoud for tent campers
We are new-ish to camping and were directed here by the nice lady at Lock A once we were told the first come first serve sights were taken and this place had one sight available. The grounds are well kept and the showers are very nice. We pitched our tent on comfortable ground and were serenaded by the sounds of trucks coming down the bridge overhead with their jakes on at night. Bring earplugs if you are in a tent. Nice staff at checkin and cleaning crew very thorough.
