One of our favorite sites ever
Sooo many pros and few cons to this site. I would say that finding the site with the provided directions was hard ish for us — enter from Mortonville Road and head down the gravel drive where all of the trespassing signs are posted at the gate. If you’re the site with the shack, turn right at the T. If you have a low car (like mine, Honda Fit), you may scrape the bottom of your car a little. But this turned out fine!
The last cons I’ll mention are that they came to clean the porta-potty at 7 am on Sunday, which stunk. A rumbling truck rolling through camp that early was not ideal. I don’t know how common that is but worth mentioning. There was also loud music on Saturday night. The posting mentions Sundays, but there was a live band until around 10 pm Saturday that we couldn’t NOT hear.
But back to the pros which were myriad:
- the river is amazing, you cannot beat the access to water
- the shack / overhang building is amazing and such a convenience
- tons of tables and shared space
- perfect fire pit, one of the best I have experienced TBH
- plenty of shaded space to put your tents as close or far apart as you want
- beautiful boardwalk through a marsh
- lovely wildlife like great blue herons, MANY songbirds, frogs, fish
- pretty private but you share the river
- bring your floaties 🛟
- everything was well-kept and well-organized
- everyone we interacted with was very nice
We would absolutely return! Loved it 🥰
