Nice little park but the lawn is not kept or raked at all, patchy, with weeds, some bare spots, and ant hills, lots of biting bugs in general. The host was nowhere to be seen, thankfully there were no incidents. It is right on the river which is a plus. I would stay again for that reason. The bathrooms were clean enough to use.

This place is very nice and very peaceful. We've come here a few times to try to fish, but we had no luck. We usually come out here to look around at the awesome rocks that are around the water. It's also very clean by the camping area and the water.
