It's a really nice campground. When you enter it, first you go through class A which have electricity hook-ups for RVs or just for your needs if you want to stay with a tent or two. It costs 20 dollars a night. Campground C is located further, in some kind of cul-de-sac and is only for tents. There's enough space on each site, and it costs only 8 dollars a month. You can put your payment into an envelope when you register your stay, or you can bother a host that seems just to live there in a giant RV, but we haven't bothered him;) There's hiking trails around, but you need to drive to them. Or there's an extreme one, I guess it's like 30 miles, with a rest stop halfway, but we didn't chance it. The place is nice, calm, clean and very relaxing.

The bathrooms needed some major cleaning. Other than that 8 dollars a night and checking in was the simplest thing you'll do all day. Can stat 14 days every 30 days. Showers are good. Totally worth the price would recommend it.

There are 12 tent only sites close to the parking lot. Plenty of shade. First come, first serve. 2 pit toilets and a water spigot (year round) in close proximity to the sites. The rate is $8 (class C) or $6 (class D) when they close the shower house (winter months). Sites are located a few minute walk from the River to River Trail.

Campground is confusing to drive through and poorly labeled where you can tent camp and rv camp. Rv camp had a couple that put a dog outside their Rv at 530 am (during quiet time) and just let it bark... till noon.... sounded legitimately like they were hurting the dog and no one would do anything about it... campsite had gumball trees and the gumballs were strewn everywhere. They also decided to mow at 8 am till noon and then started cutting tree stumps out of the ground. The bathrooms were grose, even for a seasoned camper like me. The racoons were ridiculous, I counted ten juveniles that were not afraid of people or dogs.... a bad campground for peace and quiet, and just generally rude people too.... Very disappointing...
