One important piece of information is that the campground is located in a dry county and the staff will have you sign a contract that stipulates that you cannot drink on the property. The person that checked us in even asked us to "rat" on people breaking the rule which was kinda weird.
The site itself is pretty good, right by the river. You can book in advance however site allocation is done on a first come first serve basis. There are a few porta pottys but they were pretty full and dirty. There is also no water available and the only option is a spring at walking distance.
We rented canoes from Red river adventure. The river was kinda dry and we were not able to do the big tour which was understandable. However, they told that we could get to the nearest swimming hole which was a lie. We ended up carrying the canoe on 50% of the way there. I would have appreciate more transparency on this and a discount.
Very friendly staff, riverside camping, canoe/kayak rentals, and great fishing opportunities here. It's also just down the road from a trailhead where there's a suspension bridge and an awesome jumping rock!
Our 10 people party spent 2 nights there camping and canoeing at the Red River Adventure (which operates the campground).
