Easy to find, fairly secluded sites available (15 and 16) and right on the river which is so beautiful. 

Easy, pretty, right on the river

We were looking forward to a quiet and simple night camping in our little rented self-contained camper van on the last day of a 12-day road trip.  We arrived at the end of the road to find the campground closed, so we ended up abandoning our final night and driving home. The campground is pretty, the creek is clean, the 16 (?) sites are fairly well maintained and could be really lovely mid-week when not full.  DNR would do well to post closure information so that apps like The Dyrt can more easily pick it up. 

Opens only on May 27 

This is a family favorite and enjoy the time we spend camping here.
