    Awesome place to stay right on the river! Great people, cleanest bathrooms and not to far from town.

    Overall stay was very good! Owner was very friendly and helpful. Even called to let us know our site number because he was stepping out for dinner. Loved being on the river. I would give a 4.5. Only reasons it's not a 5 star rating is... RV spots were a bit tight. Bathhouse was fantastic except for the shower curtain liners. Would definitely visit again!
