Something not right?

Description

We had a great experience here for the night. The train wasn't a big deal. The dam, river, and wildlife was beautiful. No one bothered us. A handful of other RVers here. We stayed here one night but could have stayed longer. Big, flat area. Alot of room for bigger RV's. The driveway was a little narrow. It is windy but not gusty. Great for solar!

Overall really nice site right off the highway along the river. Lots of places to park. We had our pullout all to ourselves. The trains were fine. Pretty views. Definitely would stay here again.

I don't know if this is wild camping as it seems to be an accepted camping area. It has multiple parking lots along the river and some dirt ones as well. There's an edgy toilet with running water up by the dam. I parked one of the lots by myself and had someone show up on the other end after I went in. There are trains on both sides of the river but they didn't bother me much. Overall a good place to spend a day or two.

A lot of space along the river, we spent a very nice afternoon, many RV, camper, etc, but so many space available we were all at a great distance of each other. Nobody bothered us. Great place !take the time to drive alond the road to choose the spot you prefer

Really pretty views. Tons of places. Over a mile of places off the road to pull off. All really flat and right on the water. Recommend.

This whole road is seasonal camping only. Probably be fine for a night but I got a warning citation the second morning stating camping start 4/1. Fabulous spot though.

Nice place to spend a night. Some noise from highway and train bug not bad at all. Windy at times, those windmills are here for a reason ;) Good AT&T data connection.

Great place to stay off the road. Interesting fishing docks on river. Perfect for a quick stay, great view of the dam
