This is a great park with 24 raised campsites. Haven't stayed here in bad weather but drainage should be good. The campsites have a picnic table, lantern pole, and a gravel pad for tents (see attached pics)
There is a lodge with great accomodations including a good restaurant that had a breakfast, lunch and dinner buffet that is very good.
Cabins are also available at the base of the falls.
Riding in the area is good with great sweepers but the traffic can be heavy at times.
