Beautiful river-shady park
Our site was huge, seemed like an wooded acre of our own. Quiet campground, missing host. I had to buy shower tokens from another camper.

First time for kids
This park provided a great first time experience for my two kids, small enough to let them roam, yet big enough for them to explore. The staff was very helpful.

Lovely Camping & Fishing Park
Beautiful wooded park. Great for day hiking or fishing. We watched the salmon running upstream today. The campgrounds are great. They even have Yurts to rent. Very clean, well kept and even had a Camp Host on site.
