Loud Road, Limited Privacy
Super easy to find, and conveniently located next to the river via a short walk down a trail. The river itself is very pretty, but was not the main reason we chose this location. Nice fire pit and log seats onsite. The nearby towns have plenty of food options.
However, I felt the description was not very honest about how close this site is to the road. I didn't see much about it in the reviews either, so sharing my honest opinion here. I thought that the site itself would be more tucked away from the road, but that is not the case. There is really no privacy, the street lights were bright, and the road noise kept us from getting a good night's sleep. Because it is next to a public skate park, we saw/heard people walking by at all hours of the night (as late as 3am). We felt exposed and weary of leaving things at camp to go into town. Because of all of this, we decided to end our two-night stay early after the first night and paid for a state-ran campsite elsewhere that felt safer and had no road noise.
Overall, I would recommend this if you're just looking for a place to get some sleep or rest overnight. Wouldn't recommend for a family-oriented camping trip.

Maybe a nice future campsite
The campsite has potential and I see how this could be a nice spot in the future. It was green, near a nice river and walking path.
For my taste is was to close to the main street and the city skatepark. It was quite loud.
The other thing was the visit from the really friendly police officer, the next morning, who asked if we had paid.
And for this overall experience it was too expensive.

Great place to get a quick night rest. Right by the water enjoyed it.

Between Waterway and Roadway
This site might appeal if you're into water sports, as it's quite near a popular boat launch. I wasn't there for that but my neighbors were, and I could see and hear lots of people enjoying the river on a hot day.
It's primitive, so come prepared to manage your waste responsibly.
Jeff is a friendly and kind host (he even offered me the loan of his hatchet).
I saw no wildlife other than birds, and came away after two nights without mosquito bites.
The garage band playing to an enthusiastic crowd across the river could use a few more years of practice, but my earbuds canceled them effectively.
