Some of the RV spots looked pretty spacious and nicer. The tent spot we stayed in barely had room for a tent, was sloped and had close neighbors we could hear arguing at night. Overall this is a very old campground with old facilities. Not too bad if you need to be close to the river, but I would prob only stay here again in a pinch. Also, some campers were pretty loud— a dog barked for at least 2 hours, people who were loud until 10:30 at night.
