Hidden is correct word. Narrow roads (some gravel) wind around until you come to the RV park right on the river.

Signage not present until close to the entrance. You start to doubt yourself because a couple of the turns seem like private driveways. Use the actual address in your GPS; it will get you there. As you enter, stop at stop sign & call. (One of the signs as you get close has the number that you call) Or call as you leave interstate would be better.

Park is newly acquired & there is some(!) work that needs to be done. Trees need trimming both in the park & on roads accessing it. There is also old equipment or implements abandoned. But the sites are lovely with view of the river. Very quiet. It appears that some camp here all season.

Our site was a combo of two & we entered it sideways. So electric hook up on one side/water on the other. It worked & was level. Because most of the roads were grave (bare dirt in some places), we left early when it started raining. My husband was worried that the steep hill gravel/dirt road & the wet grass of our combo site would make leaving difficult. But we made it. Whew!

Last note: cash only. That might change as they get up & going.

When we called about the campground, he said the spots are spread out and not on top of each other. When we got there, sites are super close side by side. This was not ideal for our family of 4 and two dogs but for the night we made it work. There was water and power hookups and a dumpster for garbage on the way out. The campground is right next to the river with a nice sand bar you can walk to. Pretty at sunset.

We arrived later in the day, just in time for a beautiful sunset. There is a dirt road, but or 25ft motorhome easily made it to the site. The owner was very nice. Overall pleasant stay.

Road was confusing. Was not aware that campground was considered private as opposed to public.

Internet over cellular is not usable for work.
We tried AT&T and Verizon. We do not have T-mobile.

We had the first spot next to the river. It was gorgeous. We had room to fit our 40 MH and park our towed

There is no sewer next to the river but did see services further down. These appeared to be for full time residents.

Access to the campground is down a dirt road that might be dicey when wet. That applies going in and out.

Cash only campground. Be sure to get documented as our rates changed from what was told and then paid.

Mid October and the end of their season .. quiet when we were there .. had trouble leveling in the first assigned site .. in the second site we had to raise the front wheels with blocks ( doesn’t bother me) .. we didn’t use the shower house .. we only hooked up to electric for one night .. convenient to visit West Branch and Herbert Hoovers Presidential museum/library/home

Take the time to call and make a reservation! Might not be the most tech savvy place but clean and neat and fun river access!
