Quiet little campground on a creek with lots of shade. Staff were great. Dog-friendly, we stayed with 3 pups. The fresh coffee/espresso in the campstore was a plus! Cleanest campground bathrooms I've experienced. There's a new bridge next to tent sites and a porta-potty so you don't have to walk across the site. Wifi is almost non-existent if that's important to you. The water level was low due to drought but enough areas that pooled where we could cool down. One suggestion is to create barriers for campsites as the river sites were too close to one another.

Easy check in. Very clean bathrooms and showers. The grounds are well cared for. Nothing is falling apart. There is a wash sink and a clean portable bathroom at the far end for tenters. Bridges and fences are new. Quiet stream running through the grounds.
