It's a lovely spot right on the water, but there are a few problems that make it so we won't be back: 1) Incredibly noisy in the morning with trucks on the road right next to the campground. 2) Arguably one of the most picturesque sites and with the best water access (site #3) lures you in, then as soon as you've set up your site and have a moment to take it all in, you realize that even though the bathrooms are clean and, how lucky for you, nearby, you continually get a waft of outhouse stench. 3) Lastly, and I'm hoping for everyone else's sake specific to our trip, ALL of the water faucets were closed off for some sort purification process, with no alternatives and no previous notification.

If you do decide to camp here for yourself, sites 1-7 are water side (though only 1-kind of 4 have access) and sites 8-12 are next to the road.

The biggest question we're left with is "why build the bathrooms in one of the prime camping spots, esp on the river side of the campground rather than street side?" At least we only had one night planned here.
