Nice little campground
Great little campground. Host was present and allowed for small fires in the fire rings, even though there was a red flag warning. Mama deer and two fawns visited our site. River is nearby with a rocky beach but nice. We even saw a bald eagle. Bathrooms were very clean and drinking water is available.
Popular on weekends
Beautiful little campground. Quiet during week but quite busy on weekend. Sites are huge and well spaced. Very convenient to Newport and sad point only 1/2 hr away. River access from campground. Beautiful quiet area. Firewood for sale at campground but cheaper down the road. Many outdoor recreation opportunities.

Great spot and host is present
Cell phone signal is great for Verizon. The campsite is really well maintained the host is very present and helpful. The small beach next the river is a great place to relax and cool off. The spots are well spread out with enough cover to keep cool in the summer.
