We have kayaked here several times. We decided to tent camp and kayak Oct 16. The river was very visible from our site. The site was clean, quiet and the port o potty was very clean and kept stocked with tp.

Check Out What Our Previous Guests Say
They are so accommodating and always happy to help any way that you might need. Not a camper, but their camp ground was clean and you have a view of the river.
Best kept secret in camping and kayaking. Staff goes above and beyond, the kayaking is awesome, and the restaurant is just the icing on the cake.
