Been coming here for years. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Clean bathrooms /showers and Andy Gump's if needed. We always get the water front site so it's a few steps away. No complaints here. read more

It was my first time on a campground camping with my family. Tree branches fell on my campsite neighbor's car, which smashed their windshield and collapsed the roof in the front part of their car. They needed an excavator to remove the branches. Thank God there weren't any injuries or fatalities. I started wondering what kind of fine print we signed off on to camp there. If there was a sign from God telling me that camping isn't for me, that was it. Also there are some large rocks around the campgrounds, which can be tripping hazards when you're walking around, especially at night. The pros: Decent pricing. The bathrooms are clean and well-stocked. People camping there were pleasant. Kids were riding their bikes throughout the site. The owner had really nice Halloween decorations up. I won't be back because there are more cool places to explore throughout the state. read more

Ehh... its mediocre, at best, for a campground with that price point and amenities. There are other campgrounds in the area that share similar amenities and are better maintained and more welcoming. I think people mostly appreciate how close it is to everything in town and the easy access to the river but thats about it. Its not as clean/well maintained as other locations they are breed discriminant in their pet policy. read more

I'm very mixed about this review. The staff were amazing. They immediately greeted us and made sure we had everything we needed to make our stay awesome. The grounds are very much in need of some TLC. The sites are spacious and our group was placed together - which made spending time together easy...and fun. They are on top of the maintenance and the bathrooms/showers are quite impressive. My hopes - before returning next year (and writing an updated, very positive review) - is that the owners invest a bit of money in landscaping. Even if it is just tilling the sites. Get rid of the coarse weeds and level it off. So much potential. We will be back! read more

First time camping at Frandy's and can't wait to go back. After reserving online, checking in was easy and the staff was friendly and fun. The campsites were roomy and full hookups were great as was the easy access to the river. It was also a short walk to everything in town. I had heard others don't like the rules Frandy, but we didn't want a campsite where people came in late and partied all night. Thank you for the great weekend, Frandy! read more

Love this place! Private beach, activities for the kids, everything you need for a great family camping trip! read more

I've been coming to Frandy Campground every Memorial Day weekend for the past 15 years, plus at least two other trips every summer. I've watched this campground change over the years, and unfortunately not for the better. What was once a fun, family-friendly place that we looked forward to visiting has gone seriously downhill. The bathrooms are one of the biggest issues. They are rarely cleaned to an acceptable standard, and there is virtually no ventilation. During busy weekends, they become hot, stuffy, and unpleasant to use. For a campground that sees as much traffic as Frandy, basic maintenance and cleanliness should be a priority. One of the traditions my family always looked forward to was the horse rides that were offered every year. This year, there were no horse rides. We were also told there would be movies for the campers, but those never happened either. It feels like promises are made to attract campers, but there is little follow-through. The biggest reason for this review, however, is Beverly. In all my years coming here, I have never seen someone treat paying customers with such disrespect. She is consistently rude, confrontational, and inconsiderate toward campers. Looking through the other one-star reviews, it's clear that many of them mention similar experiences with her. There seems to be a pattern of yelling at customers or speaking to them in a way that no business owner or manager should. What's unfortunate is that the rest of the staff has always been friendly, helpful, and competent. Most of the employees do their best to make guests feel welcome and provide a positive experience. The campground would honestly run much better without Beverly's involvement. The staff deserves credit for trying to make the best of a difficult situation. After 15 years of loyalty and countless camping trips, I've finally had enough. It's disappointing to walk away from a place that holds so many family memories, but the decline in the campground's condition and the way customers are treated make it impossible for me to justify returning. read more

lol... again, I don't have a pit bull. You discriminated against based on her looks... bull dogs, Jack Russell terrier, boxer, all have similar looks. Once again, I could have really gone after this legally with generic DNA testing results proving she is not of your breed discrimination rules. I am more concerned over the fact that there was a ritual going on with an unclothed underaged female and you aren't worried about that over the dog.... This was a year ago, we won't be back EVER. Yelp is one of the many platforms to make sure the word is out there... read more

There are so many campgrounds nearby that I'm sure have much better staff and facilities. Their staff is terrible and rude. Bathrooms too small for the amount of people they book and always has lines and trash. read more

Unfortunately we DID NOT read the reviews and had a run in with the owner (Beverly) WOW..... ourselves. We we're on our way to a overnight whitewater rafting trip and purchased a overnight parking permit at Frandy campground. After purchasing a permit my wife had to use the restroom so we found a porta potty to use. After using the porta potty, Beverly the OWNER proceeded to confront us about it. After paying for a parking permit. Imagine a grown women confronting another grown women about the use OF A PORTA POTTY!!! "That's for paying campground members!!" Then to put a cherry on it,she said that we can go shopping at her store on site. (NOPE) After checking with some of the Whitewater Staff, confrontations with the owner Beverly happens often. If that's the kind of person you want patronize with your hard earned money go to Frandy campground. If you want a warm and welcoming campground with the same camping amenities go to Kerns River Edge Campground and talk to Kealy!!!!.AMAZING!!! ' read more

Do NOT patronize this place!!! Similar to the other recent (2024) reviews that are trending negative, the interactions we had with the staff were some of the rudest I have ever encountered. We were directed to park here by a local rafting company, followed the visible signs with arrows, and the "Rhinestone Cowboy" (aka R.C.) who claimed "this is my property" (maybe the owner?) LOST HIS MIND and chased us down with his oversized truck. R.C. SO DESPERATELY wants to be perceived as a cowboy that it is hilariously pitiful!! Encounters with the rest of the staff were equally unpleasant. If R.C. is the owner, then I am waiting for him to go out of business. If he is not the owner, then I hope the owner reads (and responds) to this post. Having R.C. as the face of your establishment is a dis-service to the community of Kernville and the Southern Sierra business coalition. I have been frequenting Kernville, rafting, fishing, and mountain biking for over 25 years and this is the first, and only, negative experience I have ever had with a local business. In fact, I spoke with several local business OWNERS in Kernville, and they mentioned how difficult this place was to deal with, right after rolling their eyes!!! Yelp managers. Please note, that everything I have posted as accurate as to my recollection. I have not used negative language, nor personally attacked anyone. This review does not meet any of your criteria for being contested or removed. read more

I'm sadly writing this review because my kids started camping here over 10 years ago as scouts! They learned so many life lessons each year at this campsite. As years passed and kids got older we continued the tradition of camping at Frandy and became loyal customers each memorial weekend. Every year our group grew bigger as our scouts got married and started their own families. Every year we would continue our tradition. This year a lot of the scouts (grown up now) had other life obligations so we invited extended families connected to our families. The three new families that were invited had never been camping before. Embarrassingly each one had a horrible experience. One was questioned about the length of their RV even after they had confirmed it was the right size, they continued to question it. The second family was rudely asked to move their hook up to another site. Which would have been fine since we had 6 sites total but instead they were harassed about it first thing in the morning. Their experience at this campsite continued to be a nightmare. So after paying for their site for 4 nights they left after 2 nights and will never return. The third family had their family check in and had their RV set up and ready. Unfortunately due to traffic and the long distance they were driving they arrived after check in hours. They were denied entry. Despite trying to negotiate with Beverly she held this against our whole camping group for the rest of the weekend. Treating everyone with no respect. That family will not return either. Sadly the scout master that started this tradition was told he was banned from returning to their campground. I am so embarrassed that we invited these three families and not only did they pay 100.00 a night for 4 nights, they had also rented their RV from Camping on the Kern. IT WAS NOT A CHEAP camping trip and Beverly not only ruined years of memories and traditions but she took away from Kern businesses that we supported each year!! It's such a shame! If you are reading this and wanting to start a new family tradition I urge you to look at other campsites so you are not deceived like my family was. read more

And again, Beverly, the person who booked our reservation had been camping with you for many years. We left an award event for one of the kids camping with us in ample time to get to the campground by by 10pm but unfortunately encountered multiple accidents along the way that made our less than 4 hour trip a well over 5 hour trip. That was unavoidable and instead of meeting it with any sort of understanding you immediately came in swinging and I saw you had written "banned" across the reservation when we came up the next morning to sign in. Joe is a great guy and he brought all of those families to you, he didn't blatantly break your rules, it was unavoidable and you chose to deal with it in less than an understanding way. I had also had surgery recently and was very uncomfortable from sitting in the car for over 5 hours to be met with your nonsense and rude behavior. Families did go to re-book, because it's a convenient location for them, and then when you told Joe he was banned they all chose not to return as he is the reason they camped there in the first place. Joe and his son are also avid outdoorsmen and rafting guides, his son worked for one of the rafting companies. These are folks you want on these waters and camping at your sites, they have great knowledge to be shared with others who are exploring those areas. As far as disturbing other campers, we were literally the first site after the office when you enter the gate. We had a trailer set up, didn't need to do anything but park and walk in the trailer to go to bed. It was such a simple solution but you turned it into chaos. Please don't try to flip this into something it isn't, you lost several good families over a bad choice made by yourself. I do not like bashing businesses, I am a business owner, but the actions you took against our friend who invited us there were horrific and unwarranted. Instead of making excuses you should be making apologies, mainly to Joe. read more

We have been coming to this campground as a large family group for years, and while the location itself is great, this review is specifically about the management experience, which has unfortunately become the defining part of our visits. Over Memorial Day weekend, what should have been a relaxed, family-oriented trip turned into an exhausting and uncomfortable experience due to the way situations were handled by management. From the moment our group began arriving, interactions felt unnecessarily confrontational. One family member, after completing a long drive with young children, was immediately questioned and asked to provide documentation regarding their RV, despite ultimately being within the stated limits. Even after being proven correct, the tone did not shift. At 6 a.m. the following morning, management knocked on their RV and required them to move sites, which could have been handled in a far more respectful and reasonable way. While we understand that rules exist and adjustments sometimes need to be made, the manner in which these situations were approached created an uncomfortable atmosphere from the start. That family ultimately chose to leave early because they no longer felt welcome. Later in the weekend, additional members of our group arrived after hours. While this may have technically violated the posted arrival policy, the complete lack of flexibility or basic courtesy was disappointing. (especially given that this is a long-standing, returning group) Rather than offering a reasonable solution, they were instructed to leave and find somewhere else to stay overnight. A simple, human approach could have resolved the situation without escalating tensions. Throughout the weekend, interactions with management consistently felt hostile and unnecessarily aggressive. Instead of fostering a welcoming environment, there was a pattern of talking down to guests and addressing concerns in a way that felt more about control than customer service. Additionally, the public response from management to reviews is concerning. The tone comes across as defensive, dismissive, and unprofessional. Rather than acknowledging guest experiences or showing any willingness to reflect, the response shifts blame entirely onto customers and characterizes feedback as an attack. For a business in the hospitality industry, this approach is disappointing and does not inspire confidence. To be clear, this review is not about the campground itself, it is about the experience created by management. A place can have great amenities, but if guests feel uncomfortable or unwelcome, it overshadows everything else. Based on this experience, I would not return, and would not recommend it to others looking for a relaxed and positive camping environment. read more

The customer service from Beverly is truly the worst I have ever seen in my entire life. After years of loyalty to the Frandy campground, the pure disrespect the 5 families we came with received while camping here is absurd. Beverly truly made this experience a horrible one, but also the quality of the camp site itself has gone down drastically since years past. The bathrooms were never properly stocked up and after asking for them to be attended 3 different times, they still were never filled when we went in there. The typical horse and carriage rides that happen throughout the day on Memorial day weekend were not happening. Movie nights were promised for the kids which has happened in previous years and again did not happen. We will not be returning to Camp Frandy and I recommend you don't either unless you want to be berated by Beverly and heavily disappointed. read more

Beverly needs some kind of training to help with her horrible customer service. Wouldn't let our people into our camp site because it was after 10 pm. Our trailer was already set up, and we were the first site into camp so no one would have been bothered by them getting out of their car and walking into the trailer. Someone in our group who has been coming here 30 years got banned due to this and the staff being greedy and unreasonable. Nowhere does it say a specific time that we can or can't check in until, if there's people in the office then they need to do their job and check people in regardless of if it's past 10. Telling a family who drove 5 hours to get here to sleep at a park nearby until 6 am when they're "allowed" to enter the trailer they paid for is ridiculous. Congrats, you guys just lost a lot of loyal customers! Please don't camp here, much better places nearby. As per Beverly's interesting response to my original post, I feel the need to also add that the family who got there late would've been on time if they hadn't gotten caught in traffic due to 3 unforeseen accidents they passed on the road. Them coming in late wouldn't have disturbed anyone because we were the FIRST camp ground in front of the entrance and our trailer was set up already. All they had to do was park and walk inside. And I've been informed that the camp workers have also let people who were in our large group check in past 10! So yes, this camp ground is perfect if you enjoy staff who pick fights for no reason and don't treat their customers well. As a business, you should take accountability for your poor customer service instead of blaming customers who have been coming here for years. read more

This was such a fun time for our family. We went for the 4th of July weekend. They had lots of fun kid events and there was plenty of space on the river. Fireworks at the lake were great and only 20 min away. Definitely recommend. Walking distance to the town. read more

This is something we never thought we'd be writing after coming to Frandy for so many years. Some of us have been coming here for almost 30 years, and others for 10-15 years. This has always been more than just a campground trip for our families, it's been a tradition, memories with our kids, friends, and years of looking forward to the same weekend together. Sadly, this year felt like watching something we've loved for decades completely lose what made it special. The biggest disappointment wasn't even the campground itself, it was the way people were treated. Long-time loyal customers were spoken to with a level of disrespect that honestly left us shocked. We weren't treated like returning guests who had supported this place for years; we felt like we were an inconvenience. After decades of coming here and bringing countless families and business over the years, to be treated that way was frustrating and honestly pretty sad. The campground itself has noticeably gone downhill as well. Bathrooms weren't consistently maintained, the overall experience felt neglected, and the atmosphere that once made Frandy feel fun and family-oriented just wasn't there. The place that used to feel welcoming now feels more like it's being run with an "our way or the highway" attitude. What's most disappointing is that Kernville is still beautiful and our group still had a great time because of each other, not because of Frandy. The only reason this trip was saved was by the people we came with. We left talking less about the fun memories we made and more about how disappointed we were with the campground experience itself. After decades of loyalty, we never thought we'd seriously consider going elsewhere, but after this experience we absolutely will be. There are too many other campgrounds nearby to spend hard-earned money somewhere that makes loyal customers feel unwanted. read more

***UPDATE TO MY PREVIOUS REVIEW*** Knocked down trees and debris still scatted around behind the very far back sites this again was not ideal considering we have children in our group of campers. We will be trying a different site and see if this changes our experience next year. Campground team was great as always! read more

Good campsites on the river's edge. Great for fishing. Well organized with sporting goods store next to it

We have been coming to Frandy for 7 years and we absolutely love it ! Great location on the river especially if you have children the water is calmer (aside from this year), bathrooms are decent compared to other campsites nice showers, staff is amazing we love the owner one of the main reasons we keep returning, Saturday movie night is a bonus my kiddos love it ! I would highly recommend staying at Frandy if your visiting Kern perfect walking distance to everything ! I commend the staff here especially after the floods they worked their butts off to get the camp back to normal with what they could without raising prices! Our site books out a year so we were really looking forward to our trip and unfortunately our site was ruined it's now apart of the river and the owner made sure to get us in an amazing spot to accommodate. Thank you and can't wait to come back next year! read more

I have never stayed at this campground and after today, I never will. A friend and I were in Kernville for the day with our 4 children (under 7). We found a cell phone in a bathroom up river and traced the owner back to Sierra South which is next door to Frandy. At 650pm we pulled up to Sierra South (which was closed) to drop off the missing property. As I stopped my vehicle, the woman at the gate yelled at us that we could not park at that location. Both myself and my friend attempted to explain why we were there and that we would only be a minute. The gate woman continued to yell at us and ran up to my van in a frenzy yelling for us to leave, even calling me stupid when I asked why she was so angry. As a person who works in public service, and someone who was doing a good deed, this treatment was outrageous. Especially in front of my children who asked me multiple times why the "lady was being so mean." A company who condones this behavior in their employees should not be supported! The woman claimed to be the owner which I have since learned is incorrect. To the owners of this company. I encourage you to find a new person to employ. Horrible!!! read more

Great campground for kids! There's so many cute sweet animals there that kids love is such a friendly place for kids so many nice people and workers there. I love how they have a private river just to us. I love this place please come. read more

Unfortunately I have to say this is the last time here, we always had an amazing time here on thanksgiving, reserving spot 88 ($120) per night no problem, 4-5 nights of fun. Now this place has changed for the worse, cigarette's all over the floor, trash, the crowd are not family oriented but more of a party low music until the early morning. Not a quiet peaceful place to bring your love ones, not worth the trouble, stay away from this place. read more

Great for kids - near a quiet spot on the river. Staff are friendly and helpful. Showers are quarters. Toilets are clean and site is great for kids who have plenty of space to run around. Park wasn't full when we were there which made it great - can see how it would be busy in summer. Amazingly peaceful at night during our fall stay. read more

Frandy, Frandy Frandy, what can I say? I was pleasantly surprised. HUGE THING FOR ME, YOU ARE ABLE TO BOOK ONLINE, most of the other campsites don't have this availability! Every campsite has a photo of the actual campsite lot! (Major score) I do not like surprises! We were welcomed with a "drive thru" style check in where all our information was taken and wristbands were given (felt very safe) also a map along with activities that were scheduled for Saturday (meet the animals, rock painting and movie night). The staff was friendly and welcoming. Also, they have 1$ popcorn buckets for movie night!! The campground itself is all dirt. BE PREPARED FOR SAND TO FLY! Most camp grounds that I have been to are paved where cars pass, however, Frandy's is solely dirt/sand. This may not be an issue on days that are not windy. Access to the river is great, the river is clean and not too busy, plenty of people are rafting and floating. Now let's talk restrooms, there is only one building with three stalls available!!!! I wish they had at-least two, they compensated with porta potties that are located in threeother ends of the site that are just horrifying . If you are one that regularly has to go this may be an issue. Just say a prayer before entering those Porta Potties or be prepared to walk to the pretty restrooms, take your pick. All in all, it is not bad. I love how close it is to town just in case you forget something. The town itself is so cute. 100% relaxation. Pros: -large camp sites -river access -friendly staff -ice, ice cream, sun screen, chapstick, firewood etc is available to purchase at the office. -close to town Cons: - not enough actual restrooms -smelly porta potties -dirt/sand read more

First time Frandy and Kern River campers, the hardest part of the whole weekend was trying to get out of San Diego. When coming up from San Diego take the I-15 to the 58 just past Barstow, West on 58 to Kramer junction 395 intersection and head north on the 395 until you get to Ridgecrest/ Inyokern turn off. Follow the signs to Kernville. Frandys is well organized, easy checkin and a very friendly staff. We weren't lucky to get a full hookup site some we dry camped in our RV. Big shade trees are everywhere so it helped cool the rig. They allow small campfires if you need it, we didn't it was 97 degrees during the day. The bathrooms were very modern, clean and safe. I saw a lot of doing the tooth brush walk in the morning. The river is directly in front of the campground so remember to get up early and find your shoreline day spot. The town is a short walk or bike ride away. We had bikes so we took them everywhere. In one day he had breakfast at el Rios, beer at the Kernville saloon and dinner at the pizza barn. Plenty to see plenty to doo. The only thing is they need to spray the roads to keep the dust down. read more

Went camping this weekend and check in on a Thursday ( reservation made week prior) and it was good until Friday came. They were giving motor homes spots next to us tent campers( generators) . The space between sites were like 18-20' apart. Then a group of about 15 with a pittbull ( not allowed) on the restrictions, no leash ( I had a shepherd with me) Came in and I'm NOT exaggerating we were jammed in like sardines. Very unhappy and will not return back, there's lots of nicer campgrounds up there read more

Frandy Park Campground - The distance of the campground from each other - Campgrounds Near Me - Kernville, California

Best location. Walking distance to pubs on the other side of the bridge. Convenient store and staff is all so friendly. They always go above to welcome us. For my daughter's birthday they decorated our camp site upon arriving. read more

While the location is tempting, this is not the camp to go to if you want to relax. If you want to blast music, drink and have a party til dawn, this is your spot. Don't even read the rules they walk you through on arrival, forget about them. They will not enforce any of them and the regulars clearly know this and love them for it. On the bright side, i know there are probably campers looking for a spot like this to party so here it is. Most of the other camps in town will remove people if the are loud past midnight but not here. The sites themselves offer little space between campers. Even the public camp sites are larger than these. read more

CAMPING! Being realistic with expectations make the experience what it deserves to be. RULE NUMBER 1: IT'S CAMPING!!! YES, there's lots of dirt, yes there's porta potties that have crap in them, yes there are bugs, yes the river is loud, but it wouldn't be camping without these! (There's always hotels up the street). We were a large group. Took up camping spaces 1 through 5.... river front. Each space has a picnic table and grill (we had at least 1 grill, but brought our own as well). These spaces had tons of shady trees too. What i liked most about these spots was the central location to everything... we were close to the cove (river was raging so no one really "got in"), the river was parallel to our spaces, porta potties a couple of yards away, main showers and bathrooms close as well, front office also near by so were able to take advantage of free coffee in lobby... Firepits- you must create your own. Ice and firewood for sale on sight. If ya run out of food, there are nearby restaurants and stores... HIGHLIGHT: LAKE ISABELLA IS ABOUT A 10 MINUTE DRIVE FROM THIS CAMP! CAN'T WAIT TO COME BACK NEXT YEAR! read more

First time camping with the whole fam for the father's day weekend. We stayed for 4 days and 3 nights. It was a nice camping ground, clean showers (don't forget to bring quarters), close to the river and near by markets. Suggest to bring inflatables and life vest for kids that wants to play by the river. The rapids can be strong and the water is too cold to swim in. Have a fun camping! read more

Camp site was decent, water in the river was very muddy and camp ground could use more trees. Restrooms and shower rooms were sufficient as well as portal potties. Customer service was absolutely terrible and they have outrageously strict rules for everything. We stayed there for 3 days and have witnessed a staff (middle age lady) yelled at us on multiple occasions for the most minute things with a very condescending tone as if she's scolding a child. Never been scolded like that before in public for not good reasons. Found out she was the worst, but the rest of the other staff weren't friendly either. Definitely would not return and don't recommend. read more

Love this campground! Beautiful large sites...you can park any direction in your site you'd like, as long as your water and power reach. Not all sites have hookups, we were lucky enough to get one! They are dog friendly and very respectful. The movie on Friday was awesome and the bands on Saturday nights are a blast. This is our second year here and we've already booked our spot for next year! read more

All of the staff are super friendly and nice. I only gave it two stars because of the late night shenanigans. Rude campers who have no consideration for others - partying til all hours of the morning, late check-ins who spent hours setting up camp instead of doing the minimum & waiting til morning. Very little respect for quiet hours made getting any sleep almost impossible. Multiple complaints to the camp hosts did not bring any relief from the 2 am partying. No campground etiquette - streams of people walking thru your camp site to get to a spot on the river. Way too many people in this campground especially in light of the current pandemic. The location is nice as a kick off for day trips. We left the campground for most of the daylight hours to get away from the party atmosphere. Lots of cute spots up the river to spend the day, which feels more like actual camping. If you want to get your party on then this is a good place for you. I'd recommend not staying here if you have children or are looking for a restful experience. read more

We've been coming here for years, it was a great place, especially for kids and close to everything but we probably won't be returning, as they're prejudice against pit bulls and wouldn't allow her in. Disgusting that people are still like this. read more

We stayed 3 nights in space #4. It did not have a grill, water spicket or electric. This site, as well as others, are waterfront but are fully obstructed by bushes and trees. The spaces are tiny, cramped and on top of each other. When we first pulled in we were perplexed on how to fit all of our stuff in such a small space even though we only had two tents and a canopy. During our stay we noticed the look of perplexity and disappointment when new campers would arrive. People near us moved spaces or stayed less than 24 hours. If you are super social and are ok with no privacy, this campsite would be good for you. But you are literally within arms length of other campers and tents. The bathrooms and out houses were just ok. Sometimes they were clean, sometimes they were not. The last 24 hours of my stay the the bathrooms didn't have soap. On Friday and Saturday night it was really tough getting a shower stall because there were at least 20 teenagers pouring out the bathroom door. Showers were ok. Poor water pressure. They were not clean. Wrappers, hair ties, hair balls in the stall etc. One positive, we stayed near the out houses and they were constantly being sprayed down with sanatizing chemicals. Probably because of COVID. Speaking of Covid. Don't come here if you care about social distancing and wearing masks. No one does it! This is a mask free campground and most of Kernville is. Moving on... The staff is great. Very friendly and hospitable. On Saturday night they had live music and they played a movie on the big screen outside with popcorn. On Friday and Saturday night, they enforced quiet time at 10 PM and asked people to turn down music and lights. However, on Sunday when half the park emptied out, people were wild till past midnight. Nothing was enforced Sunday night and RVs and cars were driving around at all hours of the night. One of the nights, campers arrived at 10:45 PM and did a full set up. It would be nice if there was a security gate to prevent people from coming and going after hours. read more

This spot is good for family camping because they do enforce the time to shut off lights, generators, and to keep our voices down. Portable bathrooms are cleaned daily with lights in the portable restrooms I highly recommend this campsite for families to come and enjoy the river that is only few feet away. It's a clean camps read more
