    Great riverside camping spot! This clean outpost accommodated our group of 25+ easily. The restroom and bath facilities were clean and stocked. The grass was mowed, and the fire rings and picnic tables were all brand new. There are stone steps leading down to the water as well as two stone jetties that create a calm unloading spot. Staff handling our booking was super friendly and professional. Highly recommend.
