Made reservations about 2 weeks before hand, arrived there late after work. The office is located inside the casino which is nothing but a tent. There the gal who was also working in the cafe told us to go pick out a spot then come back and tell her which one and pay at that time. We then go set up and get all settled in and go back to pay. At that time she tells us that the spot we have selected is reserved and we have to move. So in the rain, the wind, and the black of night we move to a different spot and go back and tell her where we are and pay for 3 nights. By this time we are worn out and it is in the middle of the night. The next morning we get to thinking about how much we were charged and find out that she has over charged us for a full night. We go back and talk to several different managers over the course of the next couple of days and are told each time that they do not give refunds, even when they are the ones that make the mistake. Also the first spot that we chose was not taken the whole time we were there so we were told to move for no reason. I believe that spot was the one reserved for us in the first place. The only reason I would stay here again was if someone had a gun to my head! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Not so great RV Park but then most casino camping parks aren't so great. Wish they would put a little more effort into this park. It could be a good park. Bath and showers need work, highway noise is really bad. But at least they have RV spots. We would stay again, just wish it was a little better. By the way, we left with $600 of their dollars! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

It was fun being by the casino. It was a nice camp site and we really enjoyed our stay. It was a short stay but had a great time with our dog and was a pleasant experience. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This is a small campground next door to a large casino. They don't take reservations. You are told to show up, pick out a site and go to the hotel to pay. My receipt showed 25 but I was charged 30 for the night and told they hadn't updated their computer since the new owners took over. Its a clean campground with some very old travel trailers parked on the perimeters. There is a small very hot laundry room in the campground. It's right on the highway, so there is a bit of road noise. The pool is very very small. The restaurant serves beer and wine and very terrible food. Of the three of us, none of us liked our meals and the server didn't really care when we told her. I'd stay away until you hear they have a new chef. At $15.00 for a porterhouse you would think it would be good enough to bring home for the dog, but not in this case. Ordered two, both medium, one was rare and one was burned. I would not stay here, unless you are a die hard gambler and I'd never ever eat there again. You don't get much bang for your buck at 30 a night. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Campground is right on the river. Roads and pads are paved. Our rig leveled easy enough with 4 Lego style blocks. Park allows fires and our neighbors kindly shared some of their smoke with us. There is an excellent Nature Center located at the entrance. Walking down to it, we saw an amazing assortment of wildlife: a beaver, muskrat, raccoon, ducks, geese, and osprey. There is a paved bike path that parallels the river right into town. The showers work on push buttons rather than knobs. Since we camped on a cold wet day, we skipped the showers since we couldn't tell if the showers were hot or not. We would camp here again, and did. We camped here in a Truck Camper.

Open year round. $23.43 for electric/water sites, $26.56 for full hook-ups, but there are not many full service sites there. There is a dump station located right outside the entrance to the park. Nice showers, good electric and water. Spacious park with lots of walking trails. We lost our power at 10:30 pm, and it did not return until 6:30 am the next morning. We asked for a discount, but were told it was an 'act of God' due to winds the previous day, so no discount. I imagine the canyon can get pretty windy a lot of the time. Beautiful area. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Truck Camper.

The rate includes Reserve America fees of about three dollars a night. We like this Park and decided to make reservations so we could have full hookups with sewer for only two dollars more per day. There is no more rangers available so any issues are handled thru the campground host or an occasional Sheriff that cruises through the park, by the way there were no problems. The park fills up on the weekends but thins out on late Sunday. Bathrooms were dated but seem to be clean. This is a nice time of year to come, no bugs or critters flying or crawling around, we will come back but only after Labor Day. We camped here in a Motorhome.
