Not a bad little spot for a night
We stayed here on a road trip for one night. Our initial spot we reserved was wide open and not that appealing, but we were able to move spots to a nice spot on the river that was largely tree covered. The host was kind about the move. Can’t speak to the park itself though I wish we had more time to explore.
Nice riverside location
The river and views are great. Many of the Campsites are more like pull over spots. Still nice though
