That was a great Place to camp. I just wish they'd keep some of the weeds down so you could get to the water

Good for camping without a group or with kids. Playground is solid, bathroom acceptable for what needs to be done!

Cute little campground with public access to the river. Too bad they removed the dam because now the boat ramp serve no purpose. Great family campground.

We camp and tube the river every summer. Love it. Water level is better if it's not recently a drought.

Simple, clean, scenic. Get there before everyone else and you're golden. Has a canoe launch but not a real trail. Plenty of electrical and water hookups.
