When entering the park, the first thing one sees is the new (2014) park office.
|
We had called a day or two before our expected arrival to see if a reservation would be necessary; it was not. There were lots of empty sites. We were assigned site 42 near the river. But it was a bit too shady for us in this cooler weather, so we scoped out some other possibilities.
|
Site 58 struck our fancy - out in the open with lots of sun and with the river right behind it. We checked at the office and were told we were free to move there.
|
Beginning our tour of the campground, we'll start with site 41, a nice private site at the far end of the campground road.
|
In the same area are sites 38-40.
|
You can see how close the park is to the approach zone of the airport. There is a fair amount of air traffic in and out.
|
Site 39B is on the right, located beside a boat ramp.
|
Sites 51-55 all face the river across the road. All the roads in the park appear to have been paved rather recently.
|
Site 57 is right beside the river. Behind it on the left is site 56.
|
Sites 78 and 79 (a pull-through site)
|
Sites 65-71 are located in a cul-de-sac.
|
Sites 118, 120, 121, 123 and 125. The fiver is on 118.
|
On the left are sites 25-29, while on the right side of the road are sites 135-138.
|
Sites 126, 128 and 130 on the left, 127-129, 131 and 132 to the right.
|
If you like shade, sites 30-35 might suit you.
|
Sites 53-55.
|
Looking down the road past sites 42-50.
|
Near the public boat ramp are sites 60-61.
|
There is a single, small bathhouse near the center of the campground. It could use some work: doors missing from toilet and shower stalls, a missing showerhead and overall rather dirty. The showers were warm, but not what I would call hot.
|
There is a large day-use area with picnic pavilions, a basketball court and a disc golf course.
|
The younger kids will have fun climbing in the large play area.
|
A dual-lane boat ramp lets fisherman easily get their boats into the river. Just beyond the ramp is a fishing pier.
