    It was a beautiful river setting that we enjoyed very much, with a nice hiking trail within walking distance, clean shower facility, and dog friendly. The other campers we encountered were all very nice. Our only complaint was very a very poor cell signal for our entire stay. We were unable to get email, use laptops, or watch TV. While many campers won't find this a problem, beware if this is important to you. BTW, we have a Verizon hotspot and have never had this problem anywhere else.

    We had a double wide site #24 which backs up to the river. We had a very nice stay there for a reasonable price. The only thing was the dollar bill changer was not working for the laundry, we called for service, talked to someone who said their brother or someone would be right there and no one ever came. No big deal but we had to go and get change in town. Also their mini store didn't seem to be open when we were there. Again, no big deal. There was no wifi available but our T Mobile service worked fine. A little too much tree cover for Starlink. You can walk to the waterfall from the campground, its only about 1/2 mile to the parking lot. Its generally quiet except for some random dogs barking during the day. Dump station was easy to use and has a water hose to use as well. We had no problem backing into our spot since there is a huge grass area you can pull into to straighten out and then back right in. Showers and bathrooms were nice and clean. I'd recommend bringing your own firewood as the firewood we found in town didn't burn well. Its really a beautiful mostly quiet place and the sound of the clean water stream will put you to sleep at night.

    This location was great! However, there were several dogs on property which made it a little noisy. Also, the office is closed most of the week. I think it’s worth noting that most sites are for permanent residents.
