Beautiful and clean. It was almost empty of campers on Sunday to Tuesday in July. There's a bunch of pull-outs nearby to explore the river. It is online reservations only and no cell service so plan before you go.

Well maintained and they did a good job marking off reservations, which was appreciated. Note that the campsites are small and the ground is a little damp and gravelly, so you may want a tarp or something to protect the bottom of a light tent. Campsites are close together, but well laid out and it's a good campground overall!

This is a beautiful campground with 10 tent sites. There is access to a water pump and bathrooms and dumpster. A creek is accessible via a few routes. The campsites are arranged nicely so they don't feel like they're right on top of each other. Every site has a picnic table, a fire pit and grill and at least 1 nice, level tent spot.

It's a good spot for swimming and day use. It's hard to camp on the side of the road.
