We absolutely love it here! Very spacious sites with some right on the river! Ming Lake is a rocks throw away for some fishing! Can't wait to go back! UPDATE!!! The second time we came back they had gardeners doing cleanup and maintenance at 7:30 in the morning they even had a tree Shredder making lots of noise it was a disaster this trip I don't know if they do that continually but it definitely made our trip very annoying

Beautiful park. Very dark at night; bring flashlights. Mature trees and green grass. Several spots right next to river. Lots of ducks, geese & tree squirrels. Close to Ming lake. Grounds are well taken care of and clean. Restrooms dirty but we brought our own. They advertised showers but they don't work. Broken sink in one restroom and the other restroom is closed for repairs.

It's close and easy to get to. The camp ground is very nice with alot of trees and the sound of the river, (especially at night when going to sleep), is very peaceful. They have brand new bathrooms and showers . Loved this place will definitely be back!!!

Nice little place to camp. Plenty of sites. They have picnic tables, grills and fire rings at the sites. They enforce the quiet hours which is very nice! The hosts were very friendly. There's places to walk and a bike trail that runs along one side of the campground. Don't listen to the website about the kiosk! It is out of order. You will need to make a reservation online. We did so at the campground once we found a...

Very nice park. New restrooms recently installed with flush toilets and shower stalls. The showers are free and not coin operated!

It's close enough to the city that there is still cellphone reception. The park warden (Rob) is very nice and helped us with a flat tire. I love his Santa cowboy hat!

Watch out for ground squirrels, crows/magpies, and coyotes--they're adventurous and we had our trash bag broken...
