ScoutAbsolutely perfect. Everything was very clean from the bath house to the outdoor pool & hot tub and the self operated sauna with clear instructions. Pull thru parking. Leveling boards & step given. Great communication checking in after hours with late self check in. Great WiFi. Able to book with less than 24 hr notice. Would definitely come back!!
GuideNice little spot. I camped in my truck and the spot was fine. Might be tight with a large rig and not as level. But fine for a small rig.
GuideNice little campground. Know what it is. Its a campground at a theme park. Noisy during the day. Stay here if your going to Cherry Hill. I wouldn't stay here without that due to better locations. Grassy spots get slick.
GuideStayed here once for a Fallen Hero's event/concert. Campground was nice and clean. River right next to it so you can fish the river below the damn. Large grass area for hanging out. Nothing too special.
TravelerYes the road in is rough but while I was there they graded the first half. I made it with a 20ft bus. Just go slow. The views are beautiful and it was very quiet. Loved walking out to the waters edge.
ScoutWe had car trouble and this spot was walking distance to a service shop. It was a perfect location and met our needs fabulously. The only downside was no trees.
LegendI know some people had a huge issue with bugs. Maybe its because we came towards the end of October. But the only issue with bugs we had were a few annoying flies. This place is absolutely stunning. Ended up staying 2 nights. One night was very windy since there isnt much to protect you from the wind. Bathrooms have showers and flush toilets. Literally no one was here after the Bison roundup weekend. And the sunsets were spectacular !
LegendI like that the spots are paved. Close to a road causing lots of traffic noise. Not much privacy between sites either. But lots of grassy places to play
LegendA nice campground. About to close for the season so I was the only one here. Its currently dry. The water was shut off and whatnot. Lots of spots. Some better than others! I bet this place would be stunning when the leaves are green and lush!
