This is a kid friendly campground!!!

By far, the favorite place we have stayed with a kid.  They have a pool, minigolf, they are putting in frisbee golf.

The place was just off I-90, but far enough away there was little to no noise.  Internet was fine and they had wifi. The showers were clean and the campground was well kept.

The sites were all pretty nice, ours had a sprinkler head that was leaking, so when we first got there half our site was a puddle, it dried up quickly, but was back the next morning.

We were in a site along the outside, and our site was rather short, it fit our 174BH, but there was not much room to spare and we had to back it all the way in.  The sites are pretty close, so even with our small camper, when we put our awning out, it was only about 4 ft from the next camper, and when we got there, it was uncomfortably close to the couple beside us as we were hooking up the water and electric as they were close enough we could literally reach out and touch them as we were connecting our stuff.

The sites were fairly level and were arranged so it wasn't hard to get backed in at all.

This is for sure a place we would go back to.

If you like to hang out at your camp site, this is NOT the place for you.

We were here 3 nights as a base camp for Yellowstone.  Yes, it is 60 miles away, but the closest we could get since I waited until 6 months before the trip to reserve(lesson learned!!).  

Two deal killers for us from ever staying here again is, first, as mentioned, the road noise.  We were in a site that was on the back side of the campground, and the road noise was still horrible, even with the trees and bushes between us.  And second, the mosquitoes!  We spent about 15 minutes around our camp fire before we were forced inside.  Not even the smoke from our fire was keeping them away.  We did cross the highway to go check out the river and even along the river the mosquitoes were pretty bad.

The sites are split on each side of the highway, there is spigots for water, but none at the sites, also there is no hookups or even a dump station at the campground.  The sites were large enough for most campers, we fit our 174BH into our site and could have left our tow vehicle attached and not been in the road.  Sites have a burn pit and picnic table which was nice but we didn't get to use them.

Internet is non-existent.  We have Verizon and had to drive about 5 miles before we got signal.

Amazing staff, very friendly!

The sites were fine, but the water hookups were at the front of the sites, so bring extra hose if your city water connection is at the rear of your camper like ours.

The water park is part of a resort next door, so you have to pay extra for that.  We were along the back part of the campground and had good cell signal and they also offer wifi.

Showers were very nice and clean!

This is for sure a place we would go back.

Nice place, right by the river and just off I-90.  Far enough off you don't get blasted by highway noise!

The camp ground is nice enough, but it is a very basic one.  More for adults than kids.  No playground.

The area they put dry campers is VERY dusty!  Just walking around you are kicking up dust which is a problem unless you want to run your generator so you can keep your camper closed up, otherwise, you will have dust everywhere.

Stayed here over Memorial weekend.  It was free to stay, you just have to have a reservation to stay.  

THis is a DNR campground, so it has nothing but outhouses.  There is a hand pump for water, but it has a sign that says the water is not potable.  

We were in site #5, it was a bit tight to get our Jayco 174BH backed in due to the angle of the site and the path around the campground is very narrow.  I would not want to come in here with anything much bigger than our little 20 footer.  There were other sites that would easily fit bigger rigs, but the trees were pretty close on each side and some were leaning over the path.  I call it a path because it was not paved, and was mud in several places.  We did walk around and got a look at all the other sites, Site #4 was the best we saw, it was right at a bend in the path so backing in would have been a breeze, and it has a huge area where the table and fire pit was that you could have easily had 4-5 tents if you wanted to put the kids out in those.  We had a nice path down to the creek which was a nice distraction in the evenings.  

There was pretty much no cell service there from Verizon.  I would occasionally get an alert of a new email, but was never able to refresh and get anything but the spinning wheel.  Even as we drove to/from the campground, Verizon just doesn't have much service out here.  Maybe other providers are better.

Our site was rather private, we could hear others in other sites, but there was trees and bushes between us so it really did feel like we were all alone!  Best nights sleep I have gotten in YEARS!  The trees do a great job of covering the site, so solar would be very limited here.  Maybe only a couple hours each day at best.

Something we found odd since this was so far away from people, there didn't seem to be any animals around.  We heard birds, but never saw any squirrels, chipmunks, nothing.  We even left some bread in our dogs bowl outside overnight and the next day while we drove to Mt St Helens(about 1.5 hours away) and it did not get eaten.  

If you are looking for a quiet place to camp, this is a great place!  Just know, now Verizon services and there is no services offered other than several sets of outhouses.  Not even a dump station.

While the camp sites are free, I did knock off 1 star for the poor condition of the road.  There was lots of mud and huge pot holes.  I really wished I had a rack with me to carry around the loop to fill them in!

This is a good place to camp, but.

While we did have good coverage for our Verizon phones.  We got site 98 which backs up to the lake.  Great idea, but due to people having no manners, we had people walking through our campsite to get to the water to fish constantly.

This was also the first time we experienced animal problems on a camping trip.  Normally, we move all our food under our awning to a small table we keep beside the TT for cooking.  This trip, there were racoons that liked our food more than we did.  First night, we lost a half gallon glass jar of dog food.  It had a lid on it, and it took me until the second night to figure it out.  I thought we had just misplaced it since nothing else was missing.  But after the activities on the second night we knew where the dog food went.  Ended up loosing a box of graham crackers, bag of marshmallows, and a bag of burger buns.

Other than the animal issue(self induced).  The camp site was fine.  I do find the placement of the large boulders to be odd!  We had to back our TT all the way into the camp site due to they line each side of the camp sites with huge boulders.  I am talking big ones, they are at least half the size of the picnic tables.  This would be fine, but they put one on each side of the entrance to the camp site which does make it a bit concerning to back in.  And once in, you have to make sure you place your TT in the right place so you don't have one in front of your door.

There was no hookups at this site, it was fairly flat, but it was VERY dust!  There was very little grass, odd for end of April, so the site was mainly just a dirt patch which was dry enough it was pretty much just dust.

Another observation was that while they did have a couple water taps (dish washing station) on this loop, they were both on the other side of the loop, so we would have to either walk through others camp sites or walk around the entire loop.  

With the issues with animals, I would suggest you dump your trash nightly, but there was no dumpsters on this loop.  The closest was about half way back to the check-in booth, in the boat ramp parking lot.  This was about 1/2 mile from our camp site.

The sites were fairly level gravel sites, but as others stated, the sites are very close together.  

The only issue I had was the hookups are oddly close to the front of sites for a back-in site.  Not an issue for us since we have a shorter Jayco 174BH, but we had to park it so the hitch was just off the road.  The only reason this works is because they have plenty of parking, so once you place your trailer, you can then park your vehicle across the road.

We used the 30 Amp connection, and the sewer connection.  One of the things I disliked about the connections(other than the location being very far forward on the site) was the sewer connection was odd to me(first time having sewer connection at my camp site).  It was a pipe that stuck out of the ground about 6 inches with a 90 degree elbow on the top.  I don't think we spilled anything, but it did not allow our tanks to drain out of the hose until the end of the stay when I had to manually lift the hoses to evacuate them.

For the RV sites, each one is listed as XX feet off the highway, but there are plenty of trees between the highway and the camp sites to buffer then noise.

There are clean bathrooms and the showers require a token.  Didn't use them, just noticed it.  I mention this because you have to purchase the tokens and wasn't sure if they have to be bought during business hours or not?  So be aware of that.  The restrooms were clean and functional.

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

We came here to enjoy the lake.  The campground was right on the lake shore with a great sand beach!

They sites are pretty close together but were usable.  The site we had was a back-in site, the site is gravel and pretty level.  There are no hookups at this location.  First time boon docking, so we were not sure what to expect. This allowed us to test out our travel trailer and it passed.

We have Verizon and there were no issues with cell service for us.  

The campground has a clean restroom, we used our trailer shower.

Pets are allowed and with how the lakeshore was, we were able to walk around a bend and get away from others allowing us to go off-leash so our dog could play in the water freely.

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.
