Sites 104 and 108 get consistent praise; the flat Riverside Trail and Lake Alice beach keep kids busy without a long hike. Book weekdays in summer for the mist-on-the-water mornings revie
Holiday weekends bring generator noise and tight site spacing that frustrates anyone expecting quiet or privacy. Outer and corner sites help, but if a peaceful, secluded setup is the goal, this isn't that place, especially from Memorial Day through Labor Day.

Summer offers the fullest Riverway experience. Daytime highs run 75–85°F, evenings cool to 55–65°F, and the river warms enough for swimming. Trails, the boat launch, and visitor center operate on full schedules. Expect moderate to lively crowds on summer weekends, but weekday mornings stay quiet for wildlife watching and mist-lit river scenes. Early to mid-fall brings cooler hiking weather, fall color along the bluffs, and fewer crowds, though staffing sometimes drops and amenities may close early. Late spring can be pleasant but confirm facility availability before arrival.
Summer offers the fullest experience: warm days, trails and boat launch fully operating; top season.
