This is a restricted access, island based park and campground. Restrooms were closed and locked when I visited, as was the entry shack and a concession stand despite it being noon on a summer Monday. Signs were plastered everywhere reinforcing their rules, which were many. There is a day-use fee but no envelopes were provided to collect it and the park host was not around. The park itself was pretty, with lots of shade from mature trees, and plenty of well manicured grass for picnicking. The dock and boat ramp is large, with plenty of parking, there is a campground farther along the road, but unless you have paid reservations you aren't even allowed to drive through to check it out first. Surveillance cameras in use and speed (5-15 mph limit) is monitored by radar. Honestly, although it was a lovely area, I got the distinct feeling they are trying to limit access to an exclusive clientele!! I will not go back and wouldn't even consider paying to camp there. There are nicer places to spend the day by the river that are free.
