A well hidden campground with limited spots, will ensure you have an intimate escape from day to day life. The falls fill the area with white noise via the white waters pouring over the rocks. Dense tree cover shelter the grounds from the hottest of summer sun, while providing enough space to allow a cool breeze to blow through the campground. You have to put in a reservation in advanced during the summer months as it tends to be very busy.

One of the most beautiful campgrounds we have seen in the US, quit and clean and great nature with 2 most wonderful and friendly camping-hosts. Where we enjoyed 2 days camping.

Missed the possibility to wash the hands after a toilet visit and also a shower.

The Good: It's in a beautiful area, right on the river. There aren't too many campsites and it's fairly clean. They sell firewood at $5 per small bundle, just in case you don't bring your own. There are two primitive pit toilets that are maintained by the camp hosts. Garbage dumpster and recycling on site.
The Bad: The fees went up from $10 last year, to $15 a night this year, plus $5 for a second vehicle. There aren't many campsites, but they're pretty crammed together and you can hear people yelling and everyone's dogs barking. It feels like you're still in the city. The toilets smell really bad, and depending on which way the breeze is blowing, you might be smelling it the whole stay. The camp hosts were less than helpful.
Now, this was The Bad from my personal experience: The camp hosts were less than helpful because... A neighbor's son was walking their dog by, and got the attention of our dog, and he literally yanked his stake out of the ground and went after her dog. It was unfortunate and we felt really bad and apologized up and down. We wanted to smooth it over so her family and our family could enjoy what was left of the trip. But unfortunately, she couldn't let it go and the camp host just perpetuated her frustration. She spent so much time at the woman's campsite just listening to her rehash the situation over and over, and only got one side of what happened. She then insisted that we go apologize (again), and said that she was going to have to go around the camp and warn all of the other campers about our dog. We were literally the Campsite Villains, just because our dog wasn't secured well. It was a total accident, as he had never been able to pull it out before, and we promised not to let it happen again. As a matter of fact, after that point, we hardly had him out of the tent trailer, and he was supervised 100% of the time to prevent any more problems. Yet, the camp host still continued to spend even more time with that family the next day, and she and the woman continued to harass us about our dog. I think that almost all of the campers there had dogs, as they were barking almost non-stop, and ours just happened to be the one that got loose and went after someone's dog. I'm not saying it was okay, but dogs are unpredictable sometimes, and it wasn't worth ruining our family's vacation, her family's vacation and wasting the camp host's time. It was a stressful and upsetting trip for all, and we will not return. Ever.
