Description

The McConnell campground offers 21 family sites situated comfortably in the shade of sycamore and cottonwood trees. You’ll find yourself grillin’ and BBQ’in up a storm here, especially since these campsites have the most exciting amenity we’ve come across in a while: hibachi grills. We’re sorry, what? HIBACHI grills? Yes. Seriously. So bring some exciting food items to throw in there (and in the provided food lockers when you’re not cooking). Sites also have bathrooms, pay and use showers (yup, hot water!), picnic tables, piped water, and rock fireplaces. ROCK fireplaces! Again, what? Pretty sweet hook-ups here for you campfire or grill aficionados. So get out there and start campin’!

It's pefect for families, if you Don't mind swimming in a river. The water is warm, clean and flowing..never standing still. Nice small campground to ride bikes around. Nice group area. More of a Parking area has been added. Very nice n shady. Bathrooms could use more cleaning. But people should be cleaner too.
Me and my grandkids love it here. We also brought our Junior aged kids from our church here for an outing. It was great. Just keep an eye out for them in the river as some areas get deeper and not safe for non- swimmers. Have fun..stay safe❤
