Could be better
This place is fine for an overnight stay; the sites are level and the price is good for a full hook-up. Directly adjacent to the campsites is the remains of a marina that appears to have been severely damaged by a storm sometime in the past few years, and has been left to just deteriorate further. There are no showers nor is there a permanent bathroom, but there are a couple of very nice semi-permanent bathrooms with light and running water. On our next time through this area we will probably choose another campground.

Hidden gem
Quiet and clean, but could use some trash cans on the campgrounds instead of just a dumpster by the entrance. Price is great as there are no added amenities. I was there to visit family and friends. I’ll probably be back next year.

Easy in, easy out for one night. Lots of dog poop around. Beautiful view.

Our camp site was closed due to flooding but no one called us or informed us of the closure until we got there.

A great view sitting along the river, a nice to stroll along the levee. Some of the online info is not correct - we had full hook-ups.

Lots of Potential//A Few Issues
The view is really pretty and you're close to several local wineries. The sites are big and easy to get in/out of even for big rigs. My biggest complaint is that not all sites that are advertised to have septic hook up actually have septic. Most of the pull through sites have a cap blocking off the connection. I reached out to the owner and they were very unresponsive/unhelpful. I ended up backing into another spot and dumping my tank there before I left -- I hope that was ok, but I couldn't wait an additional 2 days for a response and needed to empty my tanks before my next stop. They also say you need a parking pass in your car, but they expect you to print it yourself. Like many people on the road, I don't have a printer in my camper. I didn't have any issue but I was only there for the weekend.
