“What a cute little campground tucked away from the city of Mio. There are multiple places to get to the river. I appreciated having trash and the pit toilet. There was always toilet paper in there which was a bonus. Nice large sites too!”

Cortney H 5 · Oct 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Camping site was very short. Also noticed a lot of dead trees that could fall during high winds.”
