“Not impressed”

Reviewed 6/10/2019

RV Length:	25' (Travel Trailer)

Overall Rating

Just not very impressed. There are 2 separate camping areas: the Upper CG and the Lower CG. Lower CG is closer to the river and swimming pond, but is pretty jammed in. The Upper CG has more privacy and better spacing, but is a drive to swimming area. All sites have nice fire rings with grills and older picnic tables.

They talk up Brawner Lake, but we didn’t realize that it’s 3 miles up the road from the park entrance and it didn’t really matter on this trip because it is drained completely due to a dam leak.

The bathrooms were nice—clean with good showers.

Some real nice hiking trails.

Very loud trains with a very aggressive whistle blowing engineer! Every 2 hrs day and night.

“Pleasant well separated sites”

Overall Rating

The Lower campground was closed. We stayed in the more rustic Upper campground. It is wooded and the sites are well separated. The vault toilets were in good condition.
