Overview
There are 24 sites on a single loop with four RV pull-throughs ranging from 24 to 40 feet. There are both reservable and FCFS campsites. There are two double vault accessible toilets and one accessible single vault toilet. Drinking water is available from one hand pump well.
The Civilian Conservation Corps constructed the campground in the 1930's, which includes a day use picnic shelter with fireplace that is centrally located along with tables and BBQ grill; there is nearby river access in this day use area. There are about 3-5 spots for parking depending on the size of the vehicles.
Scan and Pay might be offered at this campground; It is recommended that you pay by cash or check for FCFS campsites. There are no refunds, modifications, cancellations, or other fee changes allowed with FCFS payments. This system is the same as putting cash into a fee tube and cannot be refunded. Please download the Rec.Gov app prior to arriving at the campground as there may be no cellular service or very limited service at the campground. If no Scan & Pay option is available you must pay via cash or check.
