Me and my family love to go here. It is a beautiful place to go for a day. The host went there about 4 times though. And 1st thing in the morning. Was kinda annoying he was doing it to all the campers out that day.Its was a beautiful place. And we just tried to avoid it for the amount that we paid. I wish the facilities would have been a little bit cleaner but it was still very beautiful and was... Me and my family love to go here. It is a beautiful place to go for a day.

Beautiful beach area along the river with picinic table and grill a few feet away. Sitting there with your feet in the sand watching the river flow swiftly by carrying an occasional kyaker, you get lost. All the worries get swept up by the white waters and disappear. Don't be surprised if you have loatman hour or two when you return to reality. The surroundings are gorgeous, with colors so fresh a... Beautiful beach area along the river with picinic table and grill a few feet away. Sitting there with your feet in the sand watching the river flow swiftly by carrying an occasional kyaker, you get lost. All the worries get swept up by the white waters and disappear. Don't be surprised if you have loatman hour or two when you return to reality. The surroundings are gorgeous, with colors so fresh and vivid. The greens of the trees and bushes stand out against the tan, red, grey,mand black sand, and it is all wrapped around the cool fresh blues in the river. It's a must see/feel stop! Not to mention when traveling highway 55, you are going to welcome every opportunity to pull off for a breath and to let the person behind you, that is so obviously in a big hurry, go around you! Don't worry though because there's a sherrif along there who will not turn his head to traffic violators, so chances are you will see that rushed follower again just up the road being given a lesson in following the rules of operating a motor vehicle. Its a beautiful drive along the river if someone else has the task of manuevering around the corners along the narrow highway. Which is why I give it 4 stars and not 5!

Visited this campground with my family last weekend. Great little spot with a cozy little beach, and huge eddy that you can wade out into pretty much the middle of the river. Spot was empty when we got there and we were grateful! The restroom is right next door and was pretty clean and not smelly. Fun place to hang out, swim, and even fish. We saw a crawdad walking around in the eddy, pretty cool!... Visited this campground with my family last weekend.

I give this 4 stars and not 5 even though it deserves a full 5 only because the campground manager lady came down to us asking us to make others feel more welcome to use the beach. We had just 3 chairs and a cooler on the beach and would’ve been more than happy to move to one side and allow other folks space if they would’ve asked. It’s a small beach and will fit two families at the most. She didn’t make us feel very welcome and asked questions about where our car was parked, whether in the campground or off the road. Luckily we’d parked on the side of the road so we weren’t caught off guard there, but overall felt like she was watching our every move. I’m grateful to campground management for all the work they put into cleaning the grounds and restroom and keeping it in good shape. But I feel like there’s sometimes way too much intrusion and interrogation to sit by a beach!

Our favorite go-to place for day trips and camping. Beautiful scenery, access to the river and surprisingly quiet being so close to the highway.

Been coming here since I can remember. My parents even before that. It was our favorite swimming and fishing hole back in the day. kind of a secret private place back then. Could spend a whole week there and not see anyone.I'm happy to see the Forestry Department has maintained it well. Lot busier now, but still has its particular charm.
