“Nice, quiet place to stay right on the river and walking/biking path.”

Tracy B 5 · Aug 2026 · Campspot

“Beautiful quiet spot along the wildlife sanctuary. Bike trail was only a few yards away. Turtles, deer, geese visited us often.”

C.I. 5 · Aug 2026 · Campspot

“It was quiet, it was an off week and there was only 2 campers up front . No real shade and spits 11 and 12 both have trees and are very tight for bigger rigs”
