Some nice shady spots by the river available

Description:

This campsite does not take reservations, and tends to fill up a little bit faster than Watchman Campground; the sites are shadier and a higher percentage of them have river access. The campground provides restrooms, picnic tables, an RV dump, drinking water and utility sites. Three sites are handicapped-accessible. There are no RV hookups. Fees are $16 per night.
