A nice KOA campground along the river with good walks. Campground is wide open and spacious with trees for shade on some sites. All sites are gravel. A few overnight cabins are available as are several teepee rent. There are tent sites available as well. Bathroom facilities were okay but needed some maintenance during this offseason. Large play area for kids and a pool that is seasonally open with... A nice KOA campground along the river with good walks. Campground is wide open and spacious with trees for shade on some sites. All sites are gravel. A few overnight cabins are available as are several teepee rent. There are tent sites available as well. Bathroom facilities were okay but needed some maintenance during this offseason. Large play area for kids and a pool that is seasonally open with a hot tub. Some traffic noise during the busy times a day but at night it was fairly quiet.

First time here. Staff very helpful and friendly. Road noise load but have been next to train tracks too. Quite park, clean. Enjoyed their Friday night get together for hot dogs and margaritas. Met some really nice people from NC,Wa. Would be nice to be some what closer to town. But all in all was a nice place. Would stay here again.

There are friendly people running the place. The facilities are showing their age but are kept clean. Not a place for tents but would work in a pinch. The sites along the river are nice. All the hookups are in good shape. There is a place to connect your TV for local channels. The pool is open until 10. Next to it is a kids pool. You will also find playground equipment around the campground.

Great campground with spacious sites. Staff was great. I didn’t give a 5 star because their dump station water shut should be at the post, not so far away. Also it would be nice to change out the golf cart for an electric one so we didn’t smell all the gas fumes every time it drove by.

Great location to get back on the freeway but that also made it very noisy. The campground was very empty & for some reason they put us right next to & very close to another trailer. There was plenty of room to spread us out. I don't understand their reasoning. Very tight.
