> Sweet camp site! Having dry firewood was great. The river was beautiful. However, there IS a very loud road behind all the sites. Definitely feels like you're on display. If all you're looking for is an affordable spot, this one is great.

> End of season so campsites were empty and we had privacy but during season would be busy. Road noise significant during day. Conveniently close to town. $40/night a bit much for no hookups nor dump station,$ 28.50 service fee for what? Overall would have looked for other alternatives if they had been available but worked for us this time
