Pond Side RV

Aside from never hearing from the owner, Charlie, at all (thankfully a nice person at the gate entrance gave us the code so we could get to our site), and the bullfrogs being a little noisy at night, we had a great time! The campsite location was beautiful and spacious for our group. The grounds were freshly cut and looked well maintained. Just make sure to bring plenty of bug spray. The pond site is located a short walk from the river entrance where we put our tubes in to float. The river campsite has a spot where you can exit for a quicker float, or continue on for a bit to get to a more open spot and longer float.
