Great place for camping, plenty of tent camp, also plenty sites for campers with 30 &amp; 50 amp service with water, dump station available onsite also. Best canoeing and kayaking on new river, class 2 &amp; 3 rapids on the 10 mile float, worth the $20 shuttle to take you up river to float right back to camp ground. Also have have cabins/apartments , and store available 

Best camping and floating on new river!

Stayed at the 221 walk/paddle in group site. The walk in wasn't a blast, but that was our fault, but the whole campground was kept up nice, bathroom was clean, sites were cleaned n trimmed. I didn't shower but my wife did, and said the water didn't really ever fully get warm, not sure what that's about. All around a good stay, probably will stay here again. 

Clean and kept up

Sites are on top of each other and there is so much traffic in an out on a  one lane road. It’s a wonder no one has gotten hurt. The river is nice.
