Very nice park and great for fishing. The campsites are spaced out and it's very quiet. Will be back!

Clean quiet park, water and electric at the site as well as trash bin at the site. Beautiful views of the river and the trees this time of year were awesome colors.

Our third time in the campground, secluded but close enough to local stores for anything you forgot , normally quiet, clean, a few people cant read speed limit signs, overall a great place to camp.

Beautiful place and great camp hosts. The bathhouse could use some maintenance.
@MartinJ8056623 · Camped on Sep 26, 2024 at Campsite #A9
This is a very nice park. We were in loop A. B,C, and D are probably the best. The river runs right through the park. Mostly shady and very welcoming. Nice shower facilities. No complaints.
@CarolynTAFEDDA · Camped on Sep 22, 2024 at Campsite #D19
Beautiful campground. Will be making another trip soon!
@BrendaH4470960 · Camped on Sep 15, 2024 at Campsite #B3
This was our second visit to the camp. Everyone is so very friendly and helpful with any questions we just love camping there. The people at the reception booth are incredible and informative about places nearby. We took a guided fishing trip for trout and caught so many I could not count. We kept enough to eat for a couple of days. I truly recommend anyone looking for a beautiful and relaxing campground to consider this place. The views are spectacular as well as everyone we met near and far.

JFK is an absolutely beautiful campground, Shade is abundant with towering trees and wildlife everywhere. The restroom facilities are clean and well kept. We loved our 3 day stay there.
@EvaKDFE433E2D0 · Camped on Sep 5, 2024 at Campsite #D9
Enjoyed this beautiful, peaceful setting and the friendly folks around us. Staff was good with knowledge and assisting campers. Will definitely be back next Spring.
@ShellyR0A15C69 · Camped on Aug 29, 2024 at Campsite #B16
It seemed to me there werent many restrooms relative to the number of sites
@SkylerD6F4FB1E · Camped on Aug 15, 2024 at Campsite #A3
Wonderful campground. Clean and quiet. Didn't use the campground restrooms, so I can't comment on those. The river was so close and beautiful. Will be back soon. Our campsite was directly in front of the fish hatchery but it wasn't noisy or disrupting. The staff at the office were wonderful and polite.
@FloydG3C906434 · Camped on Aug 10, 2024 at Campsite #D19
Excellent park for overnight or 2-week stay. Very clean and well-maintained restrooms and common areas. Plus, the trout fishing is not bad either.
@JasonJ1170942 · Camped on Aug 4, 2024 at Campsite #D23
Just a family friendly location. Peaceful.
@SteveL9386340 · Camped on Jul 29, 2024 at Campsite #D8
The campground had everything I expected when I booked it for a late summer trip the cooler air from the littl3 red river kept cool. I was there on 95 degree days and it felt like lower 8os with the shade. If there was a negative I'd say it was the shower house, it didn't have enough circulation to get rid of thr hot air. I stayed in section d which was nice bit I think c would be the best.
@samanthal67272 · Camped on Jul 13, 2024 at Campsite #D25
I choose this place over anywhere I have been so far its so nice and laid back everyone is very nice and the restrooms and bath house are cleaned very very well by Stephanie she does an excellent job. Thanks so much you make the stay so very worth it!

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
