A very nice park and campground. The staff was super friendly. The sites are nice but not very private. There is some traffic noise from the road across the river but not bad at all. We didn't swim but looked like a lot of people did, and it looks like a good place to swim. Showers were closed when we were there. Family friendly with a lot of kids running around. I had a peaceful time.

I recently camped there. It’s not really a falls, and there’s no rainbow, but aside from that, it’s a lovely campground. Several of the sites offer privacy, and are relatively quiet. Firewood can be purchased from the camp hosts. The ranger station was not on duty very much during the day. I had to register at the pay station. Lots of trees for shade, walking trails, and a quiet place relax and to poke a fire. Even though there were no concessions or a lake nearby, this location still had lots of charm.

Excellent place to stop for a picnic. They have a large day use area with picnic benches and restroom (you can access the restroom without a parking pass). Day use is $10 or your Discovery Pass.

Very small but nice camping spot. The falls are pretty and provide a relaxing soundtrack. At night the highway traffic and planes overhead were very loud. The park ranger was so kind and our site itself had so much room! Nothing spectacular but a great little family and dog friendly camping spot.

It's pretty great for families, especially in summer. Nice river, good little trails, camping is pleasant. Like others have said, there are no rainbows and no falls, but it's still a lovely, accessible natural area made for people to enjoy.
