GuideSpent 3 months July-Oct has just what you need 3 free hot showers stalls, flushing toilet, convenient dump station, potable water, all situated on what seems like an island, with the water on 3 sides of the campground $500 a month for long term
LegendHas river access. Two parking lots Picnic area And make sure you go to the back of the field and take the suspension bridge trail
TravelerI biked into the park and was assisted by the campground host. The swimming area was closed for the season but there was much to see and explore. There was no way to pay in person at the campground. The cost was $27 per night but there was a hefty $10 processing fee. A bit high.
GuideLast minute phone call reservation...early evening...We told the lady on the phone we would be arriving late...She stated she would email me specifics on the camp site etc. For one reason or another I never received the email. We arrived about 11pm. No information left for us in regards to site etc.,so we found what looked like an easy site to back into for the night. I made contact again via telephone with the same lady to get bath house code and mentioned to her that I never received the email....She was very nice and polite. Perhaps an envelope with information left out in addition to an email may have helped. However it was a nice campground, clean, safe, and secure ,Decent level lot with elec and water...Dump station on site.....I would use this campground again if I'm ever in the area. Even when you hit a snag such as not getting the check in email it sure is nice to hear a pleasant voice at the other end of the line.
TravelerI really like this campground, I feel safe as a single person camping with my pups here. The owners are super friendly and the price is very reasonable. There are mostly seasonal here which helps cut back the noise and the crowds.
GuideThe East Fork part of the campground is a beautiful area along the river. The sites are nicely spaced and there are pit toilets located throughout. The animals came alive at night and we could hear coyote packs howling to each other, owls hunting, and the crickets and frogs are still going. September makes for hot days and pretty cold nights, but there was good tree cover, that still allowed to see the ALL the stars. There was plenty of room for the 2 allowed cars. Site 124 is located at the end of a loop with dumpsters nearby, that were empty and clean. A very nice place to spend a couple nights!
TravelerNeeded last minute RV space near I-94, and this was more than perfect - it is right off I-94, but placement and trees combined remove the traffic noise. It’s perfect for a family, plenty for kids to do
LegendClean bathrooms, nice showers but they're a dollar for 6 minutes.
