We had a great stay at CoolWater Campground! The campground was peaceful, quiet, and never felt overcrowded, which made it very relaxing. We especially loved our large group campsite, it gave everyone plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the weekend. One of our favorite parts was the trail down to the river. It was an easy walk with beautiful views and was a nice place to explore. The camp store was convenient, especially since they sell firewood (outside firewood isn’t allowed) and ice, so we didn’t have to leave the campground for those essentials. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. While I probably wouldn’t make it a yearly destination, it was a wonderful place for a one-time camping trip, and I’m glad we chose it!
