Great wildlife
One great thing about this campground is that there is wildlife everywhere. We saw so many Whitetail Deer, it was amazing. They would just come into the campground, feed and walk around. They didn't see too worried or scared of us or others around. We also saw some wild turkey on our way in to the campground, which was pretty cool too. There were TONS of squirrels, which seemed pretty okay with humans as well. When we were eating, they were right there with us. It was a little annoying after awhile because I felt like we had to watch them so they wouldn't get into our food. There is a lake nearby that tons of people went to fish. My dad caught some trout which was really cool. We cooked that for dinner one night and it was amazing! We also enjoyed hiking- we went on the Buffalo Nature Trail that was across from the river and campground. This trail was great, with beautiful views. The campground was good as well. The sites felt large enough, and there was a fire ring within the site. There was also a huge picnic area that was covered that anyone could use. There was also restrooms w/ a flushing toilet as well as showers that guest could use. Overall, we enjoyed our time here but I do wish there were more hiking trails.
