Campground was okay, no trails nearby. It also rained so which made the campground wet and had ponds of water everywhere.
Great camp site to hang out with your family and friends. Each call site has more then enough room for everyone and they each have their own fire pit and benches. You're close to a bunch of trails and your next to the river. There are also bathrooms there.
Love it here. Great for groups. Try to keep it quiet for everyone else who is there.
It was so overgrown at the actual rivers bend shore down the bottom of the trail that we turned back. This was July 25 2023.
Very nice and open campsite. Had no issue housing 30 scouts and adults.
BTW Adults, if you stay at campsite 3, there is a nice little alcove to set up tents.
Secluded car camp ground with well water, restroom over septic tank but more recently built so better than you may expect from similar places. Fire pits are nice. It can accommodate large groups and large tents. Creek is close by but be careful with ticks. Plenty of fire wood if you bring your axe and saw
