Quiet but dusty

I really liked the campground. Camp host was nice. It was a bit too dusty for my liking and the river was too cold to hangout in. If you don’t have certain campgrounds to access the water you’re having to go between bushes and can really do water play. Overall it was a good experience.

Beautiful waterfront sites, but LOADS of trash!

Stopped to check out Goose Creek Campground which was pretty much empty when we got there, but had loads of trash left behind by previous campers. The waterfront sites were awesome and you had your pick between tent sites right at the creek's edge or some more spacious sites that could accommodate RVs and trailers up higher overlooking the water. IMO the creekside sites are the better ones if you can score them since passing cars would kick up the fine dust in the dirt lot RV/trailer sites.

Nice campsites, but way too buggy!

We came out and stayed here over Memorial day weekend and the bugs were so bad we only made it one night! The campsites are nice, there are a bunch of nice ones down by the river in the lower loop, and the upper loop has nice secluded, heavily treed ones on a creek. However, there were more mosquitos there than I have seen in my whole life. Our dog was crying and just stayed in the car, and we had to set up our tent inside our picnic shelter to protect from what bugs we could. This campground is also super popular for dirt bikers, so if you don't bike and are looking for a quiet campsite, this isn't it.
