Had a little art's and crafts show with live music when we visited. Pretty location by the river. Had a marina restaurant on the water, but we didn't visit it. There was a cruise boat docked on the river.
The campground and location are beautiful but in all my travels I've NEVER seen such a disgusting bath house. This morning two guys walked in to clean and we're done with both in less than 3 MINUTES!!! With a full campground you would think they would spend the money to fix it up.
Nothing on the website/ brochure/ camp ground signage said that Primitive Camping is no longer available throughout the entire park. So when I arrived at dusk on a Sunday night after a long 12 hour drive, I set up camp. We built a fire, ate a meal, and went to bed. 1030 a trooper woke us from our sleep with blaring lights and through a speaker told us to “abandon our post. “ Who says that, nerd?
Update your signs! The website said the camp office was open til 8. We got there at 7. No one was around. And what respectable camp site does NOT have tent camping? You have ALL of that river real estate and no one can use it. Like me, who is touring this great nation and the park can’t provide me a place just because I don’t have a CAMPER. SHAME!
You have a river behind and in front. First come first served. Lots are spacious with stone picnic tables. We enjoyed being by the river. The campground does shut down the gate after 11pm without anyone managing it which sucks otherwise of have given it a 5 star.
