"What it offers in terms of a get away from it all makes it the go to destination for everyone who’s just about had enough of everything average.
First of all, where the heck is it? "
"It was surrounded by a lot of trees, so it had shade. It was a short walk to the bathhouse which was very clean with nice showers.
The campground has 4 different loops."
"There is no bath house, just a couple of porta potties surround by a structure with a handwashing station. The host informed us that a new bath house was in the works and coukd be open in November."
"Locating directly in the river makes it a very serene atmosphere. We enjoyed fishing and kayaking during our stay."

"Great campground with biking/hiking trails and mountain scenic overlook. Clean bathhouses, picnic tables, fire rings, charcoal grills, and electricity provided. Quiet with great views."
"Continuing on there is a short walk to a lovely overlook. There are very nice picnic shelters.
Our only complaint was the place had a number of lampoles with lights that were on all night."
GuideThis is a very well maintained park, with many hiking and overlook opportunities. White tail deer are frequent, and very tame. Bathrooms are clean and well maintained. Lots of hot water and water pressure in the showers. There is a pool and waterpark on site, and a gift shop and camp store. Was disappointed that the Visitor Center was only open on the weekend (and it was still prior to Labor Day). Staff was helpful and friendly, although there was no camp host on site on Sunday, Monday or Tuesday nights.
ScoutIt was a very nice camping spot and it also had a grill that we used to cook out. They also have a restaurant in the park that has some of the best food I have ever ate.
GuideThe camp area is alright - 4 ish areas to pull up to and a few tent sites… pretty and quiet. Only downside is that the road up is a pretty harsh grade for 4 miles. Our short bus Skoolie had some troubles with it. There also are a few peculiar (methy) characters that come in and out of the parking lot at night. Outside of that pretty quiet cool fern filled Forrest and lake.
RangerLove this place. Very secluded feeling, we had no one around us. Very clean and close to town conveniences.
GuideSmall sites but full hookups. Many amenities. multiple pools in the area, mini golf, animal exhibit although closed when we were there. Both trails we went on weren’t maintained well but the area was pretty.
ScoutCamp host rude and disrespectful. Called the police over my daughter unloading her vehicle because she was parked in the wrong spot. This was after he got in her face and yelled at her and threatened her. Told us we had to move out of the campground immediately. We weren’t even there at the time. Very disrespectful to other tenants on the property as well.
ScoutWe do lots of walking, so this campground has many drives to walk. Takes no time at all to walk a mile plus without going the same drive. Many shaded sites, lots seem to be seasonal. Showers and restrooms are spaced apart for sections of grounds. Very hilly, some sites are unlevel, so additional blocking helps. Only 2 dump stations, but, there is a honey wagon service that quite close and very reasonably priced.
ScoutBbathrooms are disgusting. Half don't work and handicap doesn't have lock. Only 1 shower worked. Water leaking from toilet and sink. The beach wasn't open so it couldn't have been beach water. It's been like this for 5 years. They don't seem to care.
ScoutGreat for kids and dogs!! Spots are a little hard to find if you aren’t familiar, and there is no septic at each site, but other than that, it’s exactly what you’d expect. Long term and by night rentals. Food trucks on bigger holidays!
