Easy to access with plenty of space for the kids to run around. No showers but there are toilets and clean drinkable water during the summer. Short walk to the river. Can't get any better for the price and is an excellent lay over spot.
Only downer is it can be quite noisy as it is right next to the highway.

Stayed 2 nights here late December. Place was packed out but still found our group of 10 a spot under the shade of the pine trees. Good atmosphere and great vibe about the place. Little wind and virtually no sand flies during the day. Road noise from the state highway during the night on still nights might bother some people. Mobile reception was available through Vodafone's 4g network most of the time also.

It's very nice place with dogs with big space, quiet , and friendly people. It's a only minute to get the river and long truck to walk.

Nice place to stay the night. Only thing negative is we could not find the box to put the money in. Maybe better to put it near the entrance

A 10, this is one of the most beautiful places we found.
Pool to swim, clean toilets, water supply, lots of places, no annoying people coming complain at 8pm to talk more quietly 🙈....
Perfect, we come back. Also thanks to the lady for the pool tip. It was very hot today and the swim was welcome

Great campsite with plenty of space for privacy and just far enough away from the highway to not get the noise and only $5 a night
