This is a hidden gem. This is a family friendly camping spot, I have been to a few spots in the past. Very friendly, the gift shop is amazing. The staff is very nice and helpful. I will be returning back soon. I will add more photos this weekend. Plus it is right on the river!!!!!
Only stayed one night, passing through. Nice little park. My overall opinion is favorable. As the park is in a really lovely spot. To be constructive if the management reads this:
- the trash dumpster is really too far away from the sites. Need something in the loop, too (apologies if I missed it)
- full hookups mean the bathhouse probably doesn’t get a lot of use, but there is only a single commode in the men’s side and the door to the stall is pretty beat up
- we didn’t buy any firewood, but I read that is was a dollar per piece? If that’s true, is pretty off-putting
- would be nice if there were a couple of views of the river cleared so you can actually see it from the camping loop
- the dock is… interesting
That was all meant in the spirit of being helpful. Would not hesitate to stay here again.
We just recently spent a week at this beautiful campground. We had a wonderful stay. The staff was friendly and helpful, the camp store is beautiful, the grounds a kept very clean. The live music on Saturday evening was great. We had our 1st BigFoot sighting 😂. We will definitely be back, with our whole tribe, and looking forward to it. Big Rigs don’t worry, you can fit!
Finishing up a 2 week stay. This was our first RV experience and we could not have been happier. Staff was very helpful and accomodating with our limited knowledge of this lifestyle. Sadly we came at the end of a typical camp season so we missed out on certain perks of the park but we still thoroughly enjoyed our time here. Laundry and washrooms are very well taken care of. A very scenic location with a great walking path. 20 minute drive into town for groceries. We look forward to coming back in summer time to enjoy the park in full operation.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Originally we were staying 1 month and then decided to stay an additional week. Very peaceful. The staff are super friendly. Every time I would see one of them they would ask if there was anything I needed. We are hoping to go back in the fall and maybe stay for another month.
