    Beautiful site, small campground, short hike to the river. NO water or dump, these are available at nearby Ft Churchill. Very good Verizon signal.

    Bugs became quite bothersome at dusk, otherwise another great visit.

    A great camping spot for the family right next to the river.

    I've only visited this place in the autumn and winter, but it's a great hidden little campground.

    The road to get in is a little rough but is short. I've towed my 34' trailer in and out no problem, even in the snow. Ice might make it too slippery to get up or down the small hill into the campground, though.

    It has easy access to the river and a couple sites have views of the river. There is a vault toilet. There are no services (no water, no RV dump, no power). There are picnic tables and fire rings.

    Fort Churchill proper is just two miles up the road and it does have water and an RV dump. I've always assumed it's permitted to go there to get water and dump the tanks if you've paid to stay at Scout Camp.

    There's a horse corral and manure dump.
