The campground itself is really nice! Right next to the cascades, the water is clean, the toilets are clean, unfortunately no drinking water.
There are signs saying that you have to wear a mask in the bathrooms and almost nobody were, it was very disrespectful.
The biggest problem with this place is that they cram as many people as they possibly can on each site, and they charge per head. This makes it very over priced for the space that you are allotted. I went with 8 people and they didn't allow us tho choose which site we wanted, we were only allowed one site. The site they gave us was big enough for 4 people.
I was not happy about it, the guy that works there said that they normally fit 20 people on that tiny site.
Another example was the site next to us had a family reunion and they managed to squeeze in about 30-40 people on their site, which at a regular campground would fit around 10.
Some of the people who were camping there during my stay were blasting their music so loud that you couldn't even play your own music. I am all up for playing music loud and having a good time, and partying, making noise late, but if it is preventing others from doing so as well that is not right.
It is a shame that the owners choose to do this to such beautiful space and land. Unfortunately the pros of the great location doesn't make up for the cons of how this place is managed.
Overall pros:
nice location
fresh clean water
allowed to be noisy
overall cons:
very expensive
way too packed
not able to choose your own sites
no drinking water
disrespectful campers
This place is a great family outing or just to go relax. Bbq all over the place. Waterfall is breathtaking and you can walk in the water. Watch out for slippery rocks. Bring a camera.
If you are looking for a party camp, definitely. If you are looking for a family camp, not so much. Music from neighbors until just after midnight, and when I say loud, it was hard to talk in our site. I assume it was for a birthday party. Not the cleanest bathrooms, but not the worst I have seen. "Reserved" a lot for 5 tents, and the lot that we were given was for 2 tents, really. Managed to squeeze it all in though. Friendly staff. Dogs permitted and actually well picked up after everyone around the camp.
Side note
To the people who pulled my sisters and our kids out of the water, I will forever be grateful to you. Thank you.
This place has beautiful cascades and beach for a day trip its perfect.
For Camping not so much. We reserve week in advance and when we got there in the afternoon they said they were full and didn't give us the spot we reserve for. Its very loud and music don't stop. Security comes at night to stop the music but people still are playing when they are gone
Overall if you do not arrive at 8am for a weekend camping you will not get a good spot and camping is loud.
Pros: The showers are warm and last a long time for the money spent ($1). Very easy access to water and overall very pretty river.
Cons: This is a party. If you are coming to do any relaxing, don't bother. With no curfew, music will be on till 5AM and back up at 7AM. Except with amazing earplugs, you will be up all night - whether you choose to or not. On top of the blaring music, you will probably hear a few drunken fights. Additionally, there is no drinking water on the whole site.
Overall, things were so bad that we didn't even bother staying the 2nd night that we had already paid for.
