Great riverside tent sites!

We stayed there on a Thursday right on the river. Super peaceful, great fire pit location, water at the site entrance, portable restrooms away (but close), and best of all right at the river’s edge.

Nice park, friendly staff

The staff was great and the amenities were centrally located. Wifi was only useful near the main building. Our spot didn’t have sewer but they had a free dump station in the park so it was no big deal.

Quiet and clean

This was a really nice park. We needed something close to the city, but didn’t want to feel like we were in the city, this fit the bill. People are very friendly and accommodating. The park is really clean. A short walk within the park and you’re at a lovely river. Facilities are also super clean.

Nice campground with friendly staff

Interesting the other review was for a first time out with their travel trailer!  Same for us!

We got site 106 which was the furthest one out, it was right along the river.  The site has a concrete slab and fit our Jayco 174BH perfectly.  

This site does is a back in, but the slab is at a 90 degree angle from the drive.  So you will have to back your trailer around a corner if you plan to park it on the slab.  Didn't see other sites like this.  

The campground did have a very small selection of items to buy, but mainly snacks.  They do fill propane tanks, but only during week days.

The site had water and electrical, but no sewer connections.  they do have a nice dump station.

The camp ground itself did have at least 2 pet areas neither are fenced so a leash is required, along with a playground for the kids.

We have Verizon and had no issues with cell signal at this campground.

Also, this is a private campground, so they have a guy that stands at the gate to open it when guests come arrive.

Quiet weekend.

This was our first trip in our Travel Trailer. The staff was great in accomodating our last minute reservation and we ended up in a great location convient to all the amenities the campground had to offer. We are looking forward to going back and enjoying the fishing along the river. No photos to upload this trip but will be back soon.
