We camped here a few years back. I wasnt impressed. Very small camp ground for tents. Its mostly full of RV sites. When we stayed the camp groundskeeper was rude to us...Seems to be a place friendly for returning RV campers they already know. I'll not return. We got glared at all night and watched like we was criminals. Came with family and children fishe and camped. Groundskeeper or whoever is over the RV section who lives there needs a change of attitude.

Absolutely beautiful and peaceful campground! Well kept grounds, clean showers and bathrooms. The view of the Ohio River and occasional barges were amazing! The campground host, Keith, was friendly and helpful. Will return without a doubt.

Site 12 has a slight incline, complete shade and the walking path passes between the site and river. However, we had no issues with our tent at this site. Based on Recreation.gov website only so many sites can be reserved online, leaving the other sites for walk-in only. We took a chance and went with no reservations. Upon our arrival we noticed only 10 campers and a few reserved signs. The campground is not that big so we drove around looking at the available sites. Walk-in primitive sites are also available. After making a loop through the campground, we stop at site 12. It is river front and offers electric. A picnic table and a campfire ring are provided, as are accessible flush toilets, showers and drinking water. We did speak with the camp host and he mentioned that we are extremely lucky to have gotten this spot. During prime season the river front spots fill quick. The only minor issue we had was the road noise. This is no fault of the campground. Across the river is a highly busy, non stop road. At night the noise carries right across the water. Despite this the site is wonderful. The shower/bath house was clean. 1 shower and two toilets for the entire campground. The shower has to be one of my favorites. The water was hot, powerful and stayed on long, push to start. I was even able to get the shower head to message mode. There is plenty of room, 1 large bench and 2 hooks, for your personals and to get dressed without getting stuff soaked. Overall, the campground is well maintained and offers great views.

We were really surprised at this campground when we arrived. The campground is in excellent condition. Well maintained. It won't be for everyone because it is 30 amp electric only at RV sites. Water is available when you arrive to fill your freshwater tank. A dump station is available too. Showers are available but we preferred our own. Some sites are right on the Ohio river. Bring your honey wagon if staying for an extended time (max 14 days)
