Site 14 Not a Double Site

This is a beautiful campground with lots of trees and plenty of shade. The river is a short walk away. Campground spacing is excellent. Site 14 is reportedly a double site which is not the case. It is a nice big open site but putting two trailers there is not feasible. If you’re planning a trip with others it would be best to get two sites together. I still give this place 5 stars!

Love the River

We stayed only one night in site number 7. I was originally worried that the campsites would be too close together but the spacing was nice and we spent our time dunking ourselves in the river. It rained a little but it did not disturb us at all. Overall we had a great time and will be going back.
